NYKP: Wednesday Night Session

Our Wednesday sessions are targeted at players who have fundamental kayak polo skills and are learning strategy and rules. Expect drills followed by competitive scrimmages. If you don’t have experience with kayak polo, or with paddling a closed cockpit kayak with a sprayskirt — rolling or doing a wet exit — please attend one of our Saturday Night Sessions first.

You should be:
* Comfortable upside-down waiting for an assisted rescue
* Actively working toward a roll or self-reliant with your wet exit and re-entry
* Competent with intermediate to advanced paddling skills and strokes
* Actively learning and seeking advice for intermediate to advanced kayak polo skills, strategies and rules.

PLEASE SIGN-UP EARLY: A minimum of 8 people are needed to schedule this session. If less than 8 people are signed up 48 hours before the session, the session will be cancelled.

The pool becomes available at 8:00pm. If arriving later than 8:30pm, please let someone know so we can open the door… or be prepared to wave from the door and wait till someone sees you!
