Club Courses & Coaching

In the club today we have a number of qualified coaches that are suitable and qualified to deliver courses to the club.

Currently we have:

7 Level 1 coaches that can assist higher level coaches
4 Level 2 coaches that can train and assess people up to 2 star standard
3 Moderate Water coaches that can take paddlers onto a max of Grade 3 water
2 Level 3 coaches that can train and assess people up to 3 star standard in both kayak & canoe

This means that we can assess up to 3* in both canoe & kayak. There will be various course dates throughout the year, so remember to check the forum and trips/ training page for further info. 

If you are ever interested in becoming a coach, speak to our Coaching Officer Bob or Email him to find out more.
