Kayak (Canoe) polo in Central London every Saturday. Sport for all! Linktree: linktr.ee/uolcanoep Welcome to the only canoe polo club in the University of London!

We are currently partnered with East End Canoe Polo club and train regularly at Shadwell Basin and Poplar Union. We compete regularly in national leagues, university competitions across the UK (including BUCS) and even tournaments abroad; we always find time for a social after! Canoe Polo is a sport for all. Canoe Polo combines paddling, ball skills and tactical play in a fast exciting game. 2 teams of 5 compete to score goals by shooting a ball at a goal frame suspended 2 meters from the water at either ends of the pitch. A player in possession of the ball may be tackled by other players and can only hold on to the ball for a maximum of 5 seconds; the ball must be dribbled or passed to other players on the team. Most of the rules concern player safety and fair play; penalties for fouls include free throws, free shots, goal penalty shots and penalty cards. The game is therefore always supervised by a referee on each side of the pitch. Canoe polo can be played indoors in swimming pools or outdoors on any stretch of flat water such as a lake or canal. We train 3 times a week indoors (energyBase), occassionally outdoors on nearby canals and also at weekend tournaments on lakes. The sport is considered to be one of the fastest growing sports worldwide with the British Canoe Union as our local governing body. Canoe polo is played internationally (a world games sport) and is governed by the International Canoe Federation. The club provides all the specialist equipment necessary including special composite kayaks (polo boats), spraydecks, paddles, buoyancy aids and helmets with faceguards.
