Overview:
Unlike soccer or basketball or even water polo, waterball makes use of water to push the ball along towards the goal. In water ball, no person is allowed to come in contact with the ball. The ball used should be something large and light (i.e. an inflatable beach ball). Like soccer, a goal is scored when the ball passes between two goal posts. Part of the challenge is getting the ball going where one wants it using one's water blasters. One can also blast an opposing team member but this will only distract and not move the ball towards the goal. A time limit is set for the game and the winner is determined by the number of goals scored in the allowed time.
If the ball goes out-of-bounds, the team that caused the ball to leave the playing field loses possession and the opposing team gets first squirt from the point of exit. If the ball comes into contact with a player, the player hit must stop squirting for 10-30 seconds (depending on the rules set before the game) while the other team gets possession of the ball.
