Kayak Polo

Kayak Polo is a fast-paced, team sport played on water, combining elements of kayaking and volleyball. Teams of five players in kayaks compete to pass and shoot a ball into the opposing team’s goal using their hands or paddles. The game is played on a rectangular water surface with a lowered net or goal at each end. It emphasizes agility, coordination, and teamwork, requiring players to maneuver their kayaks skillfully while trying to outmaneuver opponents. Kayak Polo is recognized for its energetic pace and strategic gameplay, played nationally and internationally under the governance of the International Canoe Federation.
