    Drop In Polo

    We look forward to having you all out for a fun, recreational game of polo in whitewater kayaks, open to anyone who has completed our Intro to Kayaking course (or has equivalent experience and a calm wet exit)

    When you arrive, please help set-up the 2 nets starting at 7:30pm. We will break into 2 teams. Each team can have up to 5 players on the water at once, and sub players in at any time. Each player on the water must wear a helmet with a facemask (you are welcome to use your own helmet as long as it has a facemask).

    Objective: The aim is to score in the net on the other side of the pool! The team with the most goals wins!

    RULES (for our fun game!)

    • The game begins with a sprint. Both teams line up at their goal lines, and a referee throws the ball into the center of the pitch. The first player from each team races for possession. 
    • After a goal is scored, the team that scored the goal must return to their own half as quickly as possible, at which point play can restart
    • You can hold the polo ball for up to 5-seconds only (then you must pass, dribble, or shoot)
    • A player must not maneuver their kayak with their hands or paddle while the ball is resting on their spray deck (the ball can never be on someone's deck during active play - even just sitting in one spot) 
    • Paddles must not be used to contact other players, or be used in any way that endanger other players
    • Players must be careful not to T-bone other players
    • No illegal tackles. This includes:  tackling someone who does not have ball possession, hacking, paddling within 1m of an opponent's body or hand, or deliberately causing an opponent to capsize. You are not allowed to impede/hold on to a player with your body or kit. You can also not lean on other players. 
    • No paddle fouls. See rules for safety and fairness here. 
    • No dangerous boat tackles. See rules for safety and fairness here. 
    • If you foul another team, they get possession and space to make a pass.

    If you are curious, there is a good overview of basic polo rules here:  https://warwickcanoe.uk/polo/rules For those super keen to pursue it beyond UAPS, you can checkout the ICF rulebook here, and EWP's competitive polo program here.

    Happy Paddling!

    A low student to instructor ratio ensures that whatever your skill level, you will get personalized attention in this clinic. You will also benefit from receiving different instruction styles that may clear up a confusing aspect of the rolling process.

    WATER CONFIDENCE FOR PADDLERS

    COURSE DESCRIPTION

    This course is designed to help paddlers build comfort and confidence with being underwater in a kayaking setting. We will focus on developing calm, familiar responses to the underwater situations that can occur while paddling.

    Through guided practice in the pool, participants will work through fear management systems and familiarize themselves with being underwater. We will practice recognizing what is happening, staying calm, and working through disorientation and unfamiliar positions in a controlled and supportive environment. There is no expected level of water comfort/confidence at the start of the course. The focus is on progression: wherever you are in your paddling journey, we will work with you from there.

    Why take this course?

    • Become more comfortable being in or underwater in a kayaking setting
    • Practice staying calm and aware when upside down or disoriented
    • Explore different underwater positions and movements in a kayak
    • Develop personal strategies for managing discomfort or uncertainty underwater
    • Build confidence at your own pace, with coaching adapted to your current experience and comfort level

    • Session 1 - Oct 19:  We will start out in the Eastglen Classroom and have a 90-minute dryland session before moving to the pool. Meet at the tables just past the receptionist desk by 6:00 PM.  There will be time to change into swimwear after the dryland session. 
    • Session 2 - Nov 2:  We will head right to the pool! Meet on the pool deck at 7:30 PM.

    This concentrated clinic will get you working toward that bomber combat roll you want to show off on the river. If you’ve just started paddling and want an introduction to rolling, or you’ve been trying to nail down your roll and need a bit of fine tuning this course is definitely for you.

    A low student to instructor ratio ensures that whatever your skill level, you will get personalized attention in this clinic. You will also benefit from receiving different instruction styles that may clear up a confusing aspect of the rolling process.

    We look forward to having you all out for a fun, recreational game of polo in whitewater kayaks, open to anyone who has completed our Intro to Kayaking course (or has equivalent experience and a calm wet exit)

    When you arrive, please help set-up the 2 nets starting at 7:30pm. We will break into 2 teams. Each team can have up to 5 players on the water at once, and sub players in at any time. Each player on the water must wear a helmet with a facemask (you are welcome to use your own helmet as long as it has a facemask).

    Objective: The aim is to score in the net on the other side of the pool! The team with the most goals wins!

    RULES (for our fun game!)

    • The game begins with a sprint. Both teams line up at their goal lines, and a referee throws the ball into the center of the pitch. The first player from each team races for possession. 
    • After a goal is scored, the team that scored the goal must return to their own half as quickly as possible, at which point play can restart
    • You can hold the polo ball for up to 5-seconds only (then you must pass, dribble, or shoot)
    • A player must not maneuver their kayak with their hands or paddle while the ball is resting on their spray deck (the ball can never be on someone's deck during active play - even just sitting in one spot) 
    • Paddles must not be used to contact other players, or be used in any way that endanger other players
    • Players must be careful not to T-bone other players
    • No illegal tackles. This includes:  tackling someone who does not have ball possession, hacking, paddling within 1m of an opponent's body or hand, or deliberately causing an opponent to capsize. You are not allowed to impede/hold on to a player with your body or kit. You can also not lean on other players.

    BDP applicants are encouraged to attend this pool session dedicated to getting comfortable with safety practices, rescues, and self rescues.

    We will practice T-rescues, H-rescues, swimming with gear, and self rescue scenarios. This will help prepare you for  whitewater in BDP, and familiarize you with our protocols before you're getting dunked in glacial river water!

    All paddling gear will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own PFD if you have one. Please come dressed as if you were coming to an open session or course at the pool. If you tend to get cold, you may want to wear a rash guard or neoprene. If needed, please bring a nose plug and goggles.

    If you have any questions, please reach out to Mo at bdp@paddleuaps.com!
