York Uni Canoe Polo Club

York Uni Canoe Polo Club Welcome to University of York's Canoe Polo Club! We warmly welcome any and all abilities and train at least once a week.

Your first session is free and we'd love to show the excitement Canoe Polo provides! Canoe polo is a modern contact sport which is rising in both skill and popularity. Teams of 5 players take to the water and battle it out to score goals in opposing nets suspended 2 metres high. The game is similar in style to basketball but takes place in kayaks and contact is allowed. //

YUCPC trains weekly

and accommodates all skill levels from complete novices to seasoned paddlers. For the first two terms we practice on an evening in a local pool and when things get warmer we head to the river Ouse to continue training in the sunshine. (we've been known to have the odd BBQ at the riverside too!) //

YUCPC also plays fixtures against other teams throughout the year. We are currently playing in the Yorkshire Division 3 League and will be attending BUCS, a nationwide university competition, and Roses, an annual competition between York and Lancaster universities. Several other tournaments run every year and York always takes at least one team so you're guaranteed to be playing and improving in your time with the club. //

We'd love to welcome you to the sport so please check out our website, and come along to a session!

Hey all! Last Saturday we attended our 2nd Yorkshire Division 3 tournament at Yearsley. Unfortunately, despite having a great time, we did not get all the results we wanted perhaps due to harder opposition this time along with a loss of key players and no subs.

However, all our games were hard fought battles with a close draw to Durham along with very close losses to Sheffield Little Spoons and Leeds Mints which could've easily gone either way. We also unfortunately lost to a Kingston D team which included 2 of our former players and coached by our former coach!

Overall, we had another amazing time playing along with meeting old members and I couldn't be more proud of the team for showing up and playing despite the circumstances.

We look forward to our next tournament at the end of February where we hope to have as many of you as possible!

18th October Division 3 Results! 💛

Yesterday we played our first tournament this year in Yorkshire Regional Division 3 at Yearsley Swimming Pool in our home city of York, and what a tournament it was💛

Despite only having 5 players, including 2 new members, we came away with amazing results with an amazing comeback from 0-2 down to thrash Durham 5-3.

In other results, a tough 3-3 draw against top of the league Leeds Panthers, a scratch win against Nottingham Badgers and a close and tough 3-5 loss against Leeds Mints see us currently in 3rd!

Thanks to everyone who came, you did yourselves really proud and we hope to see you all at our next tournament on November 15th 💛🖤

We had a great day winning both games, and the scores came out at:

Well done to everyone who played, we absolutely smashed it today. We also had a great time playing scratch games with Durham and Sheffield after, so thank you to everyone who stayed!
