The six Conroe ISD schools are the only programs in Montgomery County participating.
Conroe’s Taylor Ochiltree takes a shot on goal before the team’s scrimmage against The Woodlands at the Conroe ISD Natatorium, Friday, Aug. 5, 2022, in Shenandoah. The University of Interscholastic League, which governs high school athletics, added waterpolo as an official recognized sports starting this school year.
“It’s just like volleyball where you’re allowed ‘X’ amount of scrimmages and tournaments,” Conroe coach Michael Porter explained. “That first week of school, there’s a big tournament at the Cy-Fair Natatorium that we will be going to. It’s a massive tournament spanning three days and lot of teams will play there.”For those who have never watched water polo before, it has elements of several other sports.
A person holding the ball can be sunk by the defender with one hand. There are penalties with an offending player being sent to the ejection area for 20 seconds. Like basketball, three times sent to the ejection area and the player has essentially fouled out. There are also yellow and red cards like in soccer for a variety of misconducts, including ‘striking brutality’ calls.
“If you play the sport right where you’re trying to score and play defense, you’re going to play the game the right way,” Porter said. “It’s not about the physicality.”
