Based in Derby, Viking Canoe Polo Club started from the 73rd Allestree Venture Scout group, but we quickly gained status as our own club. Our journey since the mid-1980s has seen us rise up through division to division, with highs and lows of winning and defeat. Currently, Viking has teams across many divisions, competing in competitions all across Europe and here in the UK, with some Viking members being a part of the GB canoe polo teams. Some of our Vikings have been on the GB teams for many years and now our new-generation Vikings are also getting the opportunity to be selected to represent Great Britain. Our club has come a very long way since its scout group beginnings. To find out more about the club’s past and beginnings, visit our History page.
