Austin Kayak Polo is an informal group of players. There is no president, meetings, or dues. We just play polo. (OK, we socialize a little too.) We've been playing here since 1998. We won the National Men's Championships in 2005 and the Women's Championships in 2007.
Right now (spring 2008) we play twice a week, Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, and Sundays at 2 PM. We play under the Mopac (Loop 1) bridge on the north shore of town lake in downtown Austin, Texas.
We play all year round unless the temperature is under 40 degrees. The lights from the highway allow us to play in the dark in fall and winter. All games are pickup games, with all levels mixed. We just make the teams even from whoever shows up.
We do own some club equipment, which we loan to beginners. There is a small charge for repeated use of club equipment (so that we can maintain it).
If you want to play, the best way to reach us is to subscribe to the yahoo group listed at right.
Austin Kayak Polo is a division of the Austin Paddling Club, a 501-c(3) non-profit organization.
