Canoe Polo
Canoe ball games have been played in Great Britain since the late 19th century and early forms of canoe polo were played in the United States of America and parts of Europe in the first half of the 20th century. Canoe-polo mixes handball, water polo and American football, offering spectators a spectacular and entertaining show. Where players are pushed to a personal and collective challenge, and learn to surpass themselves. It is a spectacular and rapidly growing sport. Unlike other canoe sports, Canoe Polo is a game of two halves of 10 minutes where two teams of five players battle it out with a water polo ball. The aim is to score into a goal, which is suspended above the water at each end of a rectangular ‘playing pitch’. These pitches can be on open water or even in a swimming pool.

Canoe Polo is one of the eight disciplines of canoeing practice in the UK and known simply as "polo". Canoe Polo combines paddling and ball handling skills with an exciting contact team game, where tactics and positional play are as important as the speed and fitness of the individual athletes. Today, the highest level of competition is the "World Games" (equivalent of the Olympic Games) and many championships take place nationally and worldwide.

The Titans also go down creeks at weekends. In whitewater kayaking the adrenaline rush comes from falling down the waterfall free drops, the aggression of the river and from the feeling you get when, in spite of the raw power of the furious water, you are in control of yourself and the kayak, which becomes one with your body, while you are fighting for survival on the way down.
