Where can I train???

[Daniel Mestre]

Hi, i'm from Portugal and i'll be studying in London for three years.
I just wanted to know where can practice canoe polo. I tried to check if my University had any team, but they didn't.

there are quite a lot of clubs playing at different levels in and around london, it realy depends on where abouts you are living as to which will be best for you

Well, i'm staying in Shadwell, east London. In Portugal i played in Clube Naval de Lisboa, #3 in the portuguese league.
The only club that i know is meridian because i played against you on the last Setubal Cup.
What do you recommend me?

[Paddy W]

Meridian are the largest club with teams in Div 1--4 and youth teams, but they are a long way from the centre of London and you would probably need your own transport to get to them.
Clapham are more easily accessed by public transport (Tube).
University of London and Imperial college also play polo and are in central London. Try the clubs out to see which suit you most.

According to the "Travel for London" Website's Journey planner
Shadwell to Clapham CC will take about 35 mins while travelling to meridian via public transport to either Erith Pool for our thursday night session or Danson park for our monday,Tuesday or wednesday night sessions will take you about an hour.
Meridian caters for both high level serious competitive players and recreational players.

What do you have to do? Just show up. Or do i have to say something before?
Because i was thinking of showing up today at dawson park and tomorrow at Clapham.

If you confirm you are coming tonight and tell me what kit you need I am sure I can help I also need to know your size so I can insure we have a boat to fit.
