Welcome Back!
Did you work hard in regatta ready last year and love it? Would you like to continue to grow in the sport of canoe/kayak with our club? This is the program for you!
Ages: U12-U15
This is a competitive group for athletes who have chosen paddling as a primary sport. The focus of the group is learning to train, mastering technique skills, and exposing the athletes to sport, and competitive canoe/kayak lifestyles. Athletes in this group are expected to compete in all outlined divisional regattas, and national regattas (that they are qualified for). They are also expected to participate in camps and club-wide events as set-up by coaching staff.
