Schools Development
New Zealand Canoe Polo encourages the development of schools canoe polo throughout New Zealand. Recognising the strength of schools polo in the Central Region, various initiatives are underway with emphasis on the Northern Region and the South Island.
Support available directly to schools or to clubs delivering schools polo include school specific coaches and referees courses. Also, the delivery of schools competitions specific to Northern Region and the South Island, and development of schools teams in preparation for these events is a key focus.
Any schools requesting development support should contact our Sports Development Officer Andi Fear-Ross (South Island).
