Viking Canoe Polo Club currently runs 5 sessions a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays. These are split into ability levels.
Monday Sessions – Derby
The first session on a Monday is a Youth and Beginner session for paddlers of any age starting at age 11. These sessions are better suited for Youth/Beginner as there are a lot of coaches on hand to help with any questions.
The second session on a Monday is for Viking’s more Advanced Paddlers and League Players. This may be a more appropriate session for you if you have prior canoe polo experience, but contact us in advance to make sure you are attending the right session for you.
For the majority of the year, these Monday sessions are held at:
Moorways Sports Village and Water Park, Moor Lane, Allenton, Derby DE24 9HY.
Youth/Beginners: 8:00pm – 9:00pm
Improver: 8:00pm – 9:30pm
Advanced/League Players: 8:30pm – 10:00pm
Please enquire before attending so we can make sure we can provide any additional kit you cannot bring yourself. Viking provide kayaks, paddles, buoyancy aids, helmets and spraydecks for your session.
Wednesday & Sunday Session
Wednesday & Sundays consist of a river session which are invite only. These sessions include a variation of games, drills, fitness, and give a whole range of different skills and techniques used in game. As this session is not coached, if this is something you are looking for then a Monday Session may be a better fit for you. Many of our Viking A team and League Players show up to train on river sessions.
