2010 Australian Canoe Polo Champs
April 3 to 5 saw the 2010 Australian Canoeing Canoe Polo Championships held at Champion Lakes, Armadale. The fantastic venue was witness to some fast and furious games, culminating in the Open Mens grand final which started with a large collision and jettisoned ball and ended with a magnificent power goal in extra time. South Australia continued its dominance of the sport at a national level, winning 4 of the 5 divisions contested. All competitors, officials and spectators hailed the event a success and were impressed with the venue.

Open
Each canoe polo team consists of between 5-8 players with 5 on the water per team at any given time (upto 3 substitute players). Games are played in a 35m x 23m field and consist of two 10 minute halves. As the only full contact paddling sport, canoe polo is exciting team sport requiring great paddling, ball handling and tactical skills. Despite a game only lasting 20 minutes, competitors require great strength and endurance to see a game through.
Australia has a strong history in canoe polo, dominating the sport from the late 80's till the early naughties. The mens team won the World Championships in 1994, 1996 and 1998. While the womens team won the World Championships in 1994 and 1998, and claimed silver in 1996 and 2002. Recent success includes a strong showing at the World Games in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei, where the mens team claimed bronze.
