Kayak Polo Intro Session (P66)

Want to try out kayak polo? Join us for a friendly intro session on Tuesday evening! Come by pier 66 at 6:30pm to get set up with equipment.

IMPORTANT: If you have never been in a kayak before, we strongly suggest that you try out one of the free kayaking programs on the Hudson River ahead of time (at Pier 26, Pier 96 and 72nd street) ... you NEED to be able to balance on or in a kayak on the Hudson River to be able to add a ball! To get the most out of the intro session, you should already be comfortable with wearing a sprayskirt in a closed cockpit kayak and doing a wet exit. (Balance simply requires spending some time sitting on the water in a kayak - so please try this first. We will teach you the wet exit if needed.)

You will get wet! So please bring something quick-drying to wear in a kayak (including water shoes), a towel and a change of clothes / shoes.

Two free trial sessions are available for newcomers; membership and playing fees are due for everyone else ($175 for full year, all included; membership year begins May 15). See Club and Facility Fees info for seasonal and per-session options. ACA Membership is required and due separately from club and facility fees (one-time ACA event membership is included for those in free trial sessions). Regulars: please confirm that your ACA membership is up to date or renew now. NYKP Members receive a discount! Newcomers can join ACA for 6 months at $15 for or for full year $30 (use PAC Individuals & Families options and select New York Kayak Polo).
