"Canoe Polo is an exciting team event played on 35m x 23m pitches set up in swimming pools or on flat stretches of water. Teams of 5 paddlers endeavor to score goals in a net suspended 2m above the water, the ball being thrown by hand, or 'flicked' with the paddle. Naturally, the team
with the most goals at the end of the match wins the game. It is a great way keep in shape while practicing excellent boat control. The rules are a combination of soccer, basketball, and water polo. The http://www.usacanoekayak.org/disciplines/polo/polo_desc.asp web page is a good one that describes the sport in more detail."
