The Mainland Canoe Polo Association (MCPA) is the regional sports organisation for canoe polo in the upper half of Te Waipounamu, the South Island, encompassing the area from Timaru to the top of the South Island. As one of five regional associations across Aotearoa our primary responsibility is to coordinate regional initiatives in alignment with NZCPA’s objectives. Current activities are centred on Christchurch and include the weekly Christchurch Local League and School League, and the annual South Island Champs. 

We would love to extend activities to other parts of the region so please get in touch if we can assist you to get games started in your area.
