What is Canoe Polo?
Canoe polo is a fast-paced water sport combining kayaking skills with ball-handling techniques similar to water polo and basketball. Teams of five players compete to score goals while manoeuvring their kayaks with precision and strategy.
The sport emphasises teamwork, boat handling, and tactical awareness. Players master paddling, ball control, and defensive positioning while maintaining balance and speed.
