The game is fast paced and vigorous, requiring its players to be strong, quick and extremely accurate. WATER POLO HISTORY During the mid 1800’s, as swimming became a popular recreation in Eng- land, several water sports emerged bridging the gap between land and water sports. Among them were water football, water rugby, water hand- ball, and water polo. As the game developed and European rules were adopted, the sport quickly spread to several countries by 1900 including First published illustration of an American water polo game Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, and Belgium. Water polo had its official by T. de Thelstrup, Harper’s Weekly Magazine, February 28, 1891 start in the USA in 1888. By 1900, water polo had become so popular that it earned the distinction of becoming the first team sport added to the Olympic program. THE GAME A team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper. The goal of the game resembles that of soccer—to score as many goals as possible, by throwing the ball into the team's goal net while preventing the opposition from doing so at the other end of the pool. TIME CLOCKS As in basketball, two clocks are used to time a water polo game. One indicates the time remaining in the quarter, and the other, called the possession (shot) clock, indicates how much time remains for the offensive team to shoot the ball. STARTING Each quarter is started with the teams lined up on opposite goal lines. On a signal (whistle) from the referee, the teams sprint toward the center pool for the ball. The team gaining possession of the ball advances it towards its offensive end of the pool by swimming, dribbling or passing the ball. FOULS There are two types of fouls in water polo. Ordinary fouls account for approximately 80% of the whistles during the game and personal fouls (exclusion and penalty fouls) the remainder. Ordinary fouls include: touching the ball with two hands; taking the ball under water when tackled; impeding an opponent in possession of the ball who is not holding the ball; push- ing off of an opponent; and, stalling (failing to advance the ball into a better scoring opportunity). Major fouls include ex- clusion and penalty fouls. Exclusion fouls include: kicking or striking; deliberate splashing in the face; an ordinary foul committed by the defense; interfering with a free throw; misconduct or disrespect to the referee; holding, sinking or pulling back an opponent not holding the ball. A player who receives three personal faults (major fouls) will be excluded for the remainder of the game with substitution.

Following the 2012 Olympic Games longtime head coach Terry Schroeder stepped down from his post, returning to lead the Pepperdine University Waves. With a berth in the 2013 FINA World Championships still hanging in the balance, the United States turned to legendary USC Head Coach Jovan Vavic to lead the team on an interim basis. Vavic came through, piloting the United States to a Silver Medal at the 2013 UANA World Aquatic Championship Qualification Tournament. With a berth in Barcelona secured, Vavic returned to USC. Team USA found a permanent head coach on May 7 in Dejan Udovicic. A highly accomplished coach who led the Serbian Men’s National Team to Bronze at the 2012 Olympic Games and a World Championship in 2009, Udovicic also led VK Partizan to great success for nearly a decade. With Udovicic at the helm, Team USA has undertaken a youth movement, as only five athletes return from the 2012 Olympic Games and six overall with Olympic experience. Well-seasoned in building and rebuilding programs, Udovicic will turn to some of the best young talent the United States has to offer to complement veterans with big-game pedigrees. In addition to new athletes, the rest of the coaching staff has been altered, as Udovicic is joined by former Pepperdine Head Coach and current USC Assistant Coach Jack Kocur, who will take on an assistant coach role for Team USA. Team Manager Rick McKee remains for his eighth year of service. A host of athletes will (or will have an opportunity to) suit up for Team USA in 2013. Some 24 hopefuls were chosen to compete at the qualification tournament for the FINA World League Super Final. From that group, 17 athletes will train in the lead-up to the World Championships, with 13 selected to compete in Barcelona. It’s a new time for men’s water polo in the United States, and it starts now. GOALKEEPERS The man guarding the cage brings a host of experience and confidence that will be essential for any major success. Incumbent starter Merrill Moses (Ranchos Palos Verdes, CA/Pepperdine/NYAC) has anchored the net for the USA in all the major tournaments since 2007. A breakout star of the 2008 Beijing Games and named to the Olympic All- Star Team, Moses is a sturdy last line of defense, blessed with quick instincts and a solid feel for the game.

    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our department enjoyed an exciting and memorable year both on and off the field of competition in 2016- 17. Ten of our athletic teams finished among the Top 10, nationally. Of even greater significance, 126 of our student-athletes earned their degrees from this university in June and officially embarked upon the next chapter of their lives. Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, student- athletes earned Director’s Honor Roll accolades (3.0 GPA or higher) more than 980 times. In addition, our Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Report (APR) numbers remained high across the board and among the best in the nation. UCLA’s overall GSR of 86% stands two percentage points higher than the national average of 84%. Our football team compiled the second-highest GSR among Pac-12 schools with 88% (the national average for FBS schools is 74%). In addition, six of our teams – men’s water polo, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball – had a GSR of 100 percent. Sixteen of our 20 sports programs had a GSR of 80 percent or higher. I’ve said it before and I’ll say As a department, we always pride ourselves on team practice facilities for our football, men’s basketball it again – our student-athletes not only meet these accomplishments, but it’s absolutely worth noting and women’s basketball teams, and I know that the expectations, but they almost always exceed them. It’s several outstanding individual efforts by our hard- coaches and student-athletes of these teams are a testament to their work ethic and to the support they working student-athletes.

  • Water Polo National Collegiate Women’S
    Water Polo NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Southern California Takes Championship Over Stanford, 10-9: Southern California coach Jovan Vavic was still soggy from the celebratory dip in the pool after his team’s 10-9 NCAA women’s water polo championship-clinching defeat of Stanford May 16. He was also all smiles with Women of Troy seniors Tumua Anae and Kally Lucas on either side of him. “When you’re a coach for so many years, you think it’s going to get old,” he said. “But I’m as excited about this finish, this championship as [2004]. It doesn’t get old. In fact, in some ways I was more excited for this one because we waited so long.” Past frustrations were exorcised at the San Diego State University Aztec Aquaplex in a defeat of top-seeded Stanford that came down literally to the final play. Despite lead- ing through three periods, Southern California had to hold off a Stanford rally that nearly bridged a four-goal gap. Annika Dries’ goal with 45 seconds remaining brought Stanford within one for the first time since early in the third period, and capped a torrid, 1-minute, 40-second sprint. With momentum decidedly on Stanford’s side and less than a minute separating Southern California from the championship it had been denied in the previous two title games, the Women of Troy regrouped. “With 45 seconds left, we were all in the center of the pool saying, `This is the best defense of our lives,’” said Lucas. “And we got our stop.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Putting Public Law into “Private” Sport Dionne L. Koller* Abstract Across all levels of sport—professional, Olympic, intercollegiate, interscholastic, and youth recreational—the prevailing view is that the government should not take an active role in regulating athletics. As a result, there are relatively few federal or state statutes directed at regulating sports, and those that are aimed at sports primarily serve to support the professional sports industry. Moreover, courts show great deference to sports leagues and administrators, most often applying law in a way that insulates and empowers them. This creates a climate where leagues and administrators are permitted wide latitude to structure and conduct their respective sports as they see fit, especially with regard to athlete regulation. With this environment in mind, this Article examines what I define as the “legal and policy response to concussions in sports,” which includes state statutes, proposed federal legislation, “bully pulpit” initiatives such as a White House summit and Congressional hearings, and substantial tort litigation.

  • Water Polo NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S
    Water Polo NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Stanford captures its third NCAA title in four years, beats UCLA 9-5: For a team that only lost once all season and outscored its op- ponents 346 to 151, Stanford has had its share of adversity. But overcoming challenges has become a point of pride for the team and the Cardinal did it again May 11, winning the NCAA champion- ship by defeating No. 2 UCLA 9-5. The No. 1 ranked Cardinal (25-1) were down 5-3 at halftime, but scored six goals in the second half, including three goals in 1:23. “The story with this team is they have been unifi ed all season,” coach John Tanner said. “We’ve been down a lot in games and the faith they have in one another and that is really unusual and inspiring.” It was the team’s fourth championship and third in four years. The team is the only one that has made the NCAA tournament every year since 2001. Ironically, the only team to beat them was UCLA Feb. 23 and it was that loss that was the turning point of the season. “I really have to thank them,” Tanner said. “I think that really pulled us even closer as a team.” The members had a meeting and everyone talked about how the loss aff ected them. “I don’t think there was one thing we pointed to,” said senior Annika Dries, who scored three goals in the championship game. “We heard from everyone from player 1 to 21.” Tanner talked about the team’s transformation after that loss.
