About Auckland Canoe Polo

A canoe polo club on the North Shore, based at Northcote Road in Takapuna, for people who want to play a fast team sport from a kayak. Canoe polo is played by two teams of five with a water polo ball, aiming to score into a goal suspended above the water at each end of the pitch.

Players paddle, pass and shoot in the same game, so the club suits paddlers who want to build their all-round skills. The sport is played on open water or in a swimming pool, and the rolls and boat control that come with it are useful in the game itself.

The club is part of the wider canoe polo community in Auckland, which runs under the New Zealand Canoe Polo Association. Its address is 2E Northcote Road, Takapuna, on the North Shore.
