description Canoe Polo Overview
Canoe polo is a competitive ball sport played by two teams of five paddlers in a swimming pool or on a defined area of flat water. Athletes maneuver specialized kayaks to pass a water polo ball and score goals, which are suspended two meters above the water at each end of the playing area. It is a fast-paced, full-contact sport that requires advanced kayak control and ball-handling skills. The International Canoe Federation (ICF) governs the sport and has organized official Canoe Polo World Championships since 1994.
