How much water polo do kids need to play? We ask Aussie women's coach Bec Rippon

Kids in water polo are playing in multiple teams, multiple age groups and multiple locations in one weekend - is it too much? We don't know much about water polo, but we certainly know someone who does! This week we welcome to the Sportish studio the coach of the Australian Women's Water Polo Team (The Stingers) and Olympian, Bec Rippon. 

Big thanks to Bec and to our Sporties for sending through questions - we love them! If you've got a kids sports issue you'd like us to discuss, email us at hello@sportish.com.au or message us via Instagram @beingsportish.

If you’re an amateur athlete, a coach, a parent, or a volunteer — this new season of Sportish is for you.

Libby has had the most awkward interaction with an international cricket star and we've nearly died. Georgie's become a sports reporter on the sidelines of softball, Libby has thoughts on Coco Gauff and just how special is a winter or summer Olympics and Paralympics (just a bit more than your regular football season thank you very much!).
