Mon 9 Jan 2023 Pool Session (Polo Training)
9 January 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
**The focus for this half-term will be preparation for forthcoming tournaments so we need as many players as possible – both ‘old’ and ‘new’ to come along please**
NB we are moving away from our ‘usual’ alternate weeks of polo / general training to fit with these tournaments – so polo sessions this half-term will be 9, 16 Jan & 6 Feb.
Canoe Polo training for existing AND ASPIRING polo players (aged 11+) – come and develop your kayaking skills through the medium of this exciting game (think 5-a-side rugby in boats – but don’t worry, we’ll start gently!!). Training will include:
- boat handling skills;
- ball handling skills;
- fitness development; and
- gameplay.
We are trialling a new online booking process with this block of sessions, giving you currently 3 options for booking:
- if you have one of our new website-based membership accounts (which you’ll have received a separate e-mail about), you can now ‘buy tickets’ direct via PayPal using the ‘tickets’ section below (you’ll be asked to login to your account – please try this out and let us know if you have any problems;
- or you can still use the ‘RSVP’ section below to ‘express interest’ in attending individual sessions or the whole block;
- or you can drop us an e-mail at mail@breconcanoeclub.org.uk to let us know you’d like to come along to one or more sessions (or if you have any questions!).
NB our plan is to gradually extend and improve the direct online process once we know whether it works!
Arrival & Changing
- Please arrive in time to be changed and ready to enter poolside for 7pm – please don’t leave it until 7pm to start getting changed!). Please wear T-shirts as well as swimwear (for warmth and safety as well as modesty).
- Make your way straight to the changing rooms – there is no need to check-in at reception.
- Please wait at the changing room exits before going poolside – we’ll need to be given the ‘all-clear’ that the previous group has left before we enter.
- We’ll provide polo boats, paddles, spray-decks, buoyancy aids and helmets (as long as we have enough of the right sizes – we’ll find out on the first evening!).
On Poolside
- Parents are welcome on poolside to help children carry boats and get kitted-up, also to help them empty boats if required during the session (we’ll show you how!).
- No outdoor shoes on poolside please.
