I think waterpolo is a great game for school students. It has everything - it is extremely physically demanding; it has ball handling skills which are transferable; it has all the factors which are present in any dry team/territorial game. I also think it works for those kids who might be great swimmers, but whose ball skills are not great. There is a place for everyone.
What do you need..... a pool, some balls (get smaller sized ones if you are teaching lower grades) and some goals. We use cones on the poolside when playing small-sided games.
It is a great sport and should be in every school curriculum where practical. Let me know if I can be of more help.
