Canoe polo is a team sport where players learn basic and advanced paddling skills in the heat of the game. During the game, paddling technique improves naturally, and kayak control becomes more confident. Players also learn the kayak roll quickly while playing polo.
A canoe polo match is a ball game between two teams of five players. The players paddle polo kayaks in a designated playing area, attempting to score goals in the opponent’s net. One team member can act as the goalkeeper when necessary. The goalkeeper’s paddle is held upright during defense, allowing them to protect the goal frame, which is two meters high.
Beginners can get acquainted with the polo equipment and the rules of the game by playing a 4 vs 4 match.
