Edmonton Whitewater Paddlers Canoe / Kayak Polo Opportunities

Learning the Game and Building Your Skills

Please contact Dale or drop in for $10 to a Friday session.

Polo is a great opportunity to practice kayaking skills and have fun while playing a game. To actually start playing you should have entry level kayak skills. Be comfortable balancing your boat, be able to paddle forward and backward and maneuver the kayak sideways and by turning in either direction. In addition you should be comfortable with a capsize to exit or receive a T – rescue.
Throwing and catching a water polo ball also are important accessory skills.

Recreational Canoe Polo at Rundle Park - Starting May 21/09

Thursday Evenings 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm
Individual Equipment, including polo kayak, sprayskirt, pfd, helmet and paddle will be provided if needed.

The general format of Thursday evenings will be to be on the water at 7:30 pm, have 30 minutes of warm up and then divide into equal teams and play games for the remainder of the time. All levels of experience play together. Each game will be 20 minutes. Players not involved in games will be expected to help referee.
