Canoe polo

­

Canoe polo (called kayak polo in some countries) is a competitive team sport, which combines elements of water polo, basketball and canoeing. The sport played  in a defined "field" (often a swimming pool) , between two teams of 5 players, each in a kayak. The object of the game is to get the ball into the opponent's goal - a net suspended above the water at each end. The team scoring the most goals after two halves of 10 minutes being the winner. A wide range of skills, including the Eskimo roll, are regularly used. Short manoeuvrable polo-boat kayaks, paddled with two-bladed paddles are used. For more details see ­Wikipedia.
