The great paddling team ballsport
Canoe Polo is a spectacular team game, which combines elements of water polo, basketball and canoeing! The game is played by two teams of five players each, trying to score goals with a waterpolo ball in a net suspended above the water at each end of a "playing pitch", which is often a swimming pool. The fast, exciting game is played in two halves of ten minutes each, and produces fast, robust action, where a wide range of skills, including the Eskimo roll, are regularly used.
The paddlers use short, manoeuvrable polo-boat kayaks, paddled with two-bladed paddles and wear helmets, facemasks and lifejackets for safety and protection.
Just two days after the end of the ECA Junior and U23 Canoe Sprint European Championships, the next big competition for young paddlers is here. Dallenwil, Switzerland, will host the 2024 ECA Junior and U23 Wildwater Canoeing European Championships between Tuesday and Saturday.
