Flippa Ball is a modified version of water polo for beginners. The game has been designed for children aged between 8 and 12 years. It is a fun, simple game that can be played by all children regardless of their height, gender and most importantly of all, their swimming ability. Being a modified version of water polo, Flippa Ball is played in the shallow end of the pool so that the children may use the bottom of the pool to rest and for added security and safety.
Through participation in Flippa Ball™, children will learn and develop skills that are needed for water polo with greater ease.
