Build your ideal India seven in seconds

Water polo has deep historical roots in India, particularly in Bengal where the sport flourished in the early 20th century. The Swimming Federation of India oversees water polo, and the national championship continues to draw teams from across the country. States like West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Kerala have maintained strong water polo traditions, and the sport featured prominently in the National Games. Use this tool to build your dream Indian water polo team and reconnect with this proud aquatic heritage.

Team architecture

How is a water polo team built?

A team fields 7 players in the water (one goalkeeper, six field players) plus 6 substitutes — 13 on the sheet. The six field players form an "umbrella" around the opposing goal.

The goalkeeper · red cap
The only one allowed to touch the ball with both hands in their zone. Spring, shot-reading and the counter-attack outlet.
The wings · left & right
The finishers in the angles, near the goal line. Cross shots, lobs and finishing the counters.
The point · playmaker
The conductor at the top of the umbrella. Vision, the last pass, organising the man-up — the pool's quarterback.
The drivers · outside shooters
The big arms. Long-range shots out of the water and one-on-ones.
The centre · centre-forward
The warrior with their back to the goal, in the heart of the contact. Draws exclusions and penalties.
The bench · 6 substitutes
Unlimited changes during play without stopping the clock. Centre-marking specialist and backup goalkeeper.
Glossary

Talk water polo like at the poolside.

Goal
Send the ball into the opposing cage (3 m wide, 0.90 m high). Worth 1 point.
Quarter
A match is four 8-minute quarters of effective play, the clock stopped at every whistle.
Exclusion · 20 seconds
A major foul sends the player out for 20 s; the team attacks 6-on-5.
Penalty · 5-metre shot
A direct shot at the keeper from the 5 m line, on a foul preventing a near-certain goal.
The centre · hole set
The pivot position, back to the goal, on the 2 m line. All set play goes through it.
Eggbeater
The alternating leg kick that keeps a player high out of the water — the technical base of the sport.
Caps · white, dark, red
One team in white caps, the other in dark, goalkeepers in red (n°1 and 13).
