Where and When
Battersea polo players are welcome to attend a weekly canoe polo session run by Clapham CC.
The session is on every Thursday at Tooting Leisure Centre in Greaves Pl, Tooting, London SW17 0NE for our regular Canoe Polo session. We meet at the poolside at 9:15pm in order to get our kit ready and prepare the pitch. The polo session games, or training, start at 9:30pm and runs until 10.30pm, when we run over the road to a local pub for last orders.
We also enter our Open and Ladies teams into competitions.
Who
The polo sessions are great fun and suit a range of abilities from newcomers to polo to advanced polo players. The session is suitable for most levels of paddlers except beginners. You would need reasonable boat control and be able to roll, (paddle or hand), or be able to do bow rescues. Most people who attend have some previous polo playing experience but this is not essential. We are also looking for new players to join our ladies and open teams. Please contact us if you are interested in coming along to try it out!
Cost
Current prices for polo are:
£8 per session
This money is paid directly to Clapham CC, (not the leisure centre), please bring cash to the poolside and pay there. Members may also pay for sessions by bank transfer to the Clapham CC club bank account.
Kit
We have all the kit you need to play, including a fleet of plastic polo kayaks. You may bring your own kit, (e.g. paddles, spraydecks etc). It is not necessary to bring a polo boat. All you need is a swimming costume and towel. A rash vest or T-shirt may be worn on top.
