Coaching Education
Community Coach (CanoeKids)
Coaching in the community stream is focused on grassroots participation and enabling others to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Teaching enthusiastic newcomers can be a rewarding way to help others experience the joys of paddling by delivering an introductory program like CanoeKids or Pools in Schools. Sink your heart into managing a specific program like PaddleALL, Dragon Boat or Masters. This stream is an ideal starting point for new coaches to gain experience and they can easily transition into the competition stream if they so desire.
