intertube water polo

A few friends from Jerusalem started an intertube water polo team here at BYU and invited me to join. 
Of course I immediately accepted. 
And if you don't know what intertube water polo is, it's quite simply water polo played in intertubes. 
It may sound silly, but in fact, it's quite difficult. You can't ever really get vertical enough to shoot well and moving anywhere is out of the question. I mostly just sit in my tube, flailing my arms attempting to score a goal {which is a lot smaller than normal cages for some reason}.
It's an art, really. 
Many of my fellow players and opposing team members have fallen out of tubes during games. As hard as I laugh and think it's the funniest thing in the world, I can't help but feel bad because getting back in the tube whilst still in the water, may be the most difficult task ever to be accomplished. 
So kudos to those of you who have prevailed.
