What is Canoe Polo?
Canoe polo is an exciting fast-paced game played by two teams of five players on a rectangular playing pitch that can be in open water or in a swimming pool. Matches are played over two halves of 10 minutes with the aim to score into a goal which is suspended above the water at each end of the pitch. The ball in canoe polo is the same that is used in water polo and can be controlled by hand or by paddle.
All equipment provided. Just come prepared to get wet!
Kayaking experience an advantage, but not essential.
