People of all ages are encouraged to ‘have a go’, with
qualified instructors to guide you through the basics of Canoe Polo. Water
Safety procedures will be followed to ensure you are safe in the water.
Ian Heard from Canoe SA says “Canoe Polo is not widely known
as a sport but is some of the best fun you can have in a kayak getting wet. It
consists of 2 teams with 5 players on the playing area each. The goals are
suspended off the water and each team is allowed one player as a goalie. If you
can imagine a game that is a cross between basketball and water polo played in
small kayaks”.
You will be learning the basic paddle strokes as
well as an introduction to the basic rules. While the game is a lot of fun,
keeping you safe is also a priority. Referees control the game and
International Canoe Federation Rules apply to games played at the Adelaide
Competition
