It’s hard work, but it’s fun!

At school, I do a lot of sports like rugby, badminton and hockey. I love football, but now I have a new favourite sport – underwater football! Do you know it? It’s like football, but you play it in a swimming pool. There are two teams. Each team has got 13 players, with five players in the water. The ball isn’t a normal football; it’s big and heavy. In normal football, players don’t use their hands to hit the ball, but in underwater football, they can use their head, hands or feet to do this. Players try to hit the ball into the other team’s goal. The winning team is the team with the most goals at the end of the game.

I don’t play underwater football at school, but I’m in a team at a club. We usually play every week, on Saturday. Underwater football is an exciting sport but it’s hard work. I love it because I like football and I like swimming, too. It’s really fun!
