Freshers polo tournament!

(1/4) > >>

Douchier:
The fun starts here!

DCU have come up with the great idea of hosting a canoe polo tournament for freshers in all the different
college clubs in the area.

Canoe polo is a fast-paced, skillful and tactical game that's kind of like basketball played in kayaks.
You've got a ball and you have to get the ball to the other end of the pitch and put it in a goal suspended
above the water. To do that you need to pass and (safely!) push opponents out of the way.

It's a great way of developing skill an confidence in a boat and hopefully we'll get you guys playing in the Dublin Canoe Polo League (DCPL) in the Spring. We've got two teams in there at the moment, the Div.4 Space Cadets and the Div.3 Supernova.

It's all easy enough to pick up as you play and we'll try and do some work on it in the pool.
there'll be substitutions and we should get a few matches.
This competition will inside a swimming pool and will be 4per team. 
It will be held next Wednesday (21Nov) in the DCPL pool in Cabra.

Here's a link to a quick version of the rules, but don't worry about them too much!

Here's what you might expect a match to look like...


Here's a bit of a video of what it can look like!
This might look a bit scary, but it's at an expert level and what you're doing won't look quite like this.
It's a video of masters, which is why they're all old!

Cost: TBC, but not much
Time: 7-9
