Hi,

we are facing a serious problem because we can not get many new and young players.

Can you share with us some ideas to get new and young players?

For example:
- Do you get kids in the school, by bus for example?
- What do you organize/do in the first days/weeks? Do you teach how to paddle? Do you manage games? - What do you feel is more attractive?
- Do you have specific kayaks, paddles, balls?
-......

As you well know, currently the young canoe polo players can not participate into ANY competition. I suppose the first step should be convince the Portuguese National Federation to change rules to allow them to participate in competitions. Nobody keep training for two or tree years without competition even young people. As you also know my club is the one most detracted from that politics.

Regards.
