Summer Canoe Polo - All Abilities

Tuesday 11th June 2024 11:00 at MC Boathouse

Played canoe polo before?      Amazing! Imagine all the fun of previous sessions but minus the fitness and add (hopefully) sunny weather! Come along to develop some skills and chat with friends in a fun, hopefully helpful, fitness free session!

Not played canoe polo before?    That means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high sch-, sorry, university canoe polo. But this can be rectified! Come along to learn the basics and throw a ball around in the sun. It's not like you have much else to do now exams are over!

The exact contents of this session will depend on what ability mix we have.

Any questions chat to Sarah!
