Canoe polo demands high levels of technical skills, especially when controlling and balancing the canoe. For instance, participants need to be able to make quick maneuvers and, at the same time, maintain the balance of their canoe while coming into contact with other players. The Eskimo roll is an essential technique when playing canoe polo since it allows players to recover from capsizing without exiting the kayak. In addition, players must be able to coordinate paddling with ball handling. Players are often seen passing or shooting with one hand while controlling their direction with the other. Being proficient at each technique is essential to being successful as a canoe polo player.{{cite web | title=ICF Rules | date=2025 | url=https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/2025_icf_competition_rules_canoe_polo_-_final.pdf}} |
