The great paddling team ballsport
Canoe Polo is a spectacular team game, which combines elements of water polo, basketball and canoeing! The game is played by two teams of five players each, trying to score goals with a waterpolo ball in a net suspended above the water at each end of a "playing pitch", which is often a swimming pool. The fast, exciting game is played in two halves of ten minutes each, and produces fast, robust action, where a wide range of skills, including the Eskimo roll, are regularly used.
The paddlers use short, manoeuvrable polo-boat kayaks, paddled with two-bladed paddles and wear helmets, facemasks and lifejackets for safety and protection.
This weekend, the Kayak Centre Tacen is hosting a major international competition – the I Feel Slovenia Canoe Slalom Cup Tacen 2025.

On Saturday, Slovenian paddlers Eva Alina Hočevar and Žiga Lin Hočevar claimed victories in the canoe events, while kayak titles went to Italy thanks to Stefanie Horn and Xabier Ferrazzi.
