THE
WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 13:30-15:00
The
usual Wednesday session! Open to beginners and is simply a really chill couple
hours on the River Wear. If you did a fresher's session and enjoyed it this is
probably the next session for you - some games, some skills, lots of fun.
Please
bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes and a
towel. It is best not to wear jeans on the water since these shrink when wet.
See
you there!

Monday Morning Fitness is
back. We take polo boats and spraydecks for these sessions. These are tippier
than river boats and if you aren't comfortable in one then come on Wednesday
instead. Any questions ask Noah/Ben/Izzy
Meet at the boathouse at
7:15am, off the water by 8:30am so everyone can get to those all important 9am
lectures. Make sure to bring warm clothes since it will be freezing.
Please only attend this session if you are comfortable in a polo boat, and have chatted to Sarah (I promise I'm friendly!).
If you are new to the club this year but have now spent a good number of sessions in a polo boat please do drop me a message :)
If you are completely new to canoe polo, chat to our lovely exec to about how to get started - we'd love for you to get involved!

BackToBasics! This week is all about nailing the fundamentals - boat speed, agility, throwing and catching. We want to minimise turnovers due to our own inaccurate passing and unforced errors so you can never practice these things enough!
Session Focus: Boat comfort, speed and agility, accurate passing
Any questions, chat to Sarah. :)

After a brief hiatus, we're back and better than ever! Following our recent debut at Yorkshire Polo, let's keep this momentum going!
In this session we will be looking mainly at attack, especially as this was something that was fed back to me as a coaching point from the recent tournament.
After this session we will have completed all the basics, and will be looking to improve our skills and fitness for the rest of the term.
Session Focus: Attacking principles, Managing space, Accurate Passing
Any questions, chat to Sarah. :)
