Extractions: This Program is ongoing every other Tuesday night at 7 PM in the WSC pool. Free Kayak roll sessions are offered on the alternate Tuesday nights. Gear and instruction is provided by WP. In Fall 2006 and Spring 2007, the Rec department sponsored a series of kayak polo games during the kayak pool session in the campus pool. WP pitched in a paddling gear for those that didn't have their own and overall Kayak Polo was a huge success. Spring 2007 Schedule: Kayak polo is a great way to learn paddling skills and get the most out of flat water practice for real rivers. Games were played 6 on 6 and players ranged from total beginners to expert boaters. Rules are simple: you can't keep the ball more than 5 seconds and you can't interfere with the goalie. Whenever anyone who couldn't roll tipped over, the game was suspended for a bow rescue. There were few swims among the beginners. Learning the rules Rescue him!

Kayak Polo, Anyone? Scott Wynn, right, looks for an open teammate while Leonard Huffman defends during a kayak polo game on Lake Washington at the UW s Waterfront Activities http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/84609_kayakpolo29.shtml
Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER Each Tuesday evening, a pack of water-bound minotaurs chase and charge after a ball near the University of Washington's Waterfront Activities Center. Half boat, half human, they slap their paddles in the hunt, much like an agitated bull paws the ground. Scott Wynn, right, looks for an open teammate while Leonard Huffman defends during a kayak polo game on Lake Washington at the UW's Waterfront Activities Center. Dan DeLong / Seattle Post-Intelligencer Click for larger photo On a recent balmy Tuesday, a threesome in a canoe paddle up to watch the frenzied pack, and a darkly tanned girl reclining regally in a bikini yells out, "What's the name of your game?" "Kayak polo," a player shouts back. "What did you say?" She looks puzzled. The polo players laugh. That people stop and stare at their little-known sport or shrug their shoulders in a "who knew?" kind of way, is a matter of course.

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents After nearly a century of false starts and experimentation in several different countries, canoe polo (also known as kayak polo) finally became a genuine international sport in 1987. The first notice of something that might be called canoe polo was a woodcut, "Polo on the Sea," that appeared in England's Punch magazine on October 2, 1875. Both men and women, on double-hulled boats, are using double-bladed paddles to try to gain control of a nondescript ball. Another London publication, the Graphic , published an illustration captioned "Water Polo." This one showed players in wooden kayaks, some paddling and others dueling with their paddles. The ball is just barely visible as a dark blotch on the water. Then canoe polo seems to have disappeared from public view for about 50 years. It was revived, or more likely re-invented, during the 1920s in Germany, where it was used to attract and train novice paddlers. The German Canoe Federation published the first rules for the sport, called "kanupolo," in 1926. They were probably based loosely on the rules of soccer and team handball. There were 11 players on a team, the game was made up of two 45-minute halves, and the playing field was 99 to 120 meters long by 50 to 90 meters wide, with goals 4 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. By 1929, a similar sport had developed in France, but teams there ranged from just three to five players and the playing area was only 60 to 100 meters long. During the 1930s, Germany's kanupolo rules were revised considerably, scaling the sport down: The team was reduced to five players, the field to 60-90 meters long and 40-60 meters wide, the game to 30-minute halves. After World War II, another version of canoe polo arose in Australia, quite possibly as another independent invention. The Australians used two-player boats, with the bow paddler going for the ball while the stern paddler controlled the canoe.

Extractions: Bring: PFD, kayak and paddle, full face helmet are provided Now days we have gotten a bit smarter after getting whacked too many times in the faces with the paddles. This time around everyone has to wear full face helmets, which is great because this allowed us to ditch the jerseys and go with colors helmets to represent each team, and of course everyoneâs safety. It seems as if the intensity of the game has amplifiedâ¦but there is a peace of mind knowing your face is protected. Around October, before the start of a Tuesday Kayak Polo session, I explained the concept of the game to an older man who was inquiring to the experience. I told him to imagine playing with 20 brothers and sisters on the courtâ¦there is no mercyâ¦and you have to be tough. I was tackled last weekâ¦twice. The first time I had to swim out of my kayak, which is so embarrassing. The second time, I found a kayak to bow rescue off of. The next day I was in the pool working on my hand roll!!
