I saw that the Outdoor Connection Center has a Kayak Polo session Thursday 1/14 at 7:30 at the HPER building.

Free for students, $5 for the rest of us

Didn't bring my boat I live in Huntsville now, but what other dates do they have so I can bring my stuff with me.

Just a head's up for anyone planning to go tonight - if there is lightning in the area, they will probably close the pool down. I remember one time last semester there had been some thunderstorms that day, and there was still some lightning WAY off in the distance. Every time the life guards happened to "hear" or go outside and "see" this alleged lightning, they would come back and tell us "oh, now it's another 20 minutes before anyone can get in the pool." They do close the pool down for if there is lightning, and if I remember right it is something like you have to wait 20 minutes after the last time the life guards saw or heard lightning. Just a head's up for tonight.

There is the calendar for the Outdoor Connection Center this semester (same link Regud listed). It looks like there will be kayak polos tonight (October 8 ), October 20, November 5, and December 1. And there will be a "practice session" (basically just an open pool session) on October 22.

Oh, and Victor, (or anyone else, for that matter), the OCC always brings some of their gear for people to use (free of charge). They have some Jackson Funs and Heros, and life jackets, paddles, skirts, and helmets with face guards that they have to have everyone wear.

I may have to make that ryan.....never played kayak polo b4....sounds fun though. Are you going ryan? Give me a call after 5. 870.715.0648

I have to convince the wife, but I plan on going. I will give you a call later and let you know.

Bump

BUMP!
Tonight (12/1) at 7:30
Come enjoy the warm water of U of A's Indoor pool!

will hopefully see you there, depending on if, or how distracted I get before then

Not many people have been coming to kayak polo, so the more people that can come tonight, the better. I am hoping for enough people tonight so that we don't end up having to play 2 on 2...again.

kayak polo jan 14, dont miss out

Kayak Polo 3/16 @ 7:30

Come on out!

Is this boatball by another name or is someone likely to enforce rules and keep score?

Yes to rules, and yes to score. It's not nearly as violent. You do have to wear one of their helmets with a face guard. Oh, you have to shoot the ball in a basketball goal to score.
