Kayak Polo is an exciting, adrenaline-filled team sport that combines kayaking and water polo. Goal nets are suspended above each goal line. The idea is to outscore your opponent as in soccer or basketball with zone defense, full court press, and fast break. Paddlers move the ball by throwing, dribbling it, or passing it. Kayak Polo is a contact sport. When a player is in possession, an opposing player may push their kayak over or paddle on-top of their opponent’s kayak. The object is to force the player in possession to lose control of the ball.
