The eagerly anticipated Coach Award is now available! The Coach Award creates discipline specific pathways across all disciplines and is designed for people whose core function is to coach paddlers who want to gain/improve paddlesport skills. This will include coaching beginners new to the sport, or paddlers looking to develop their skills in the given discipline/environment.
The learning programme for Coach Award candidates is split into four distinct parts; Core Coach Training, Discipline Specific Training, Independent and Supplementary Learning and Assessment.
Find out more about the Coach Award on the Coaching & Leadership section of the website, which includes information about the prerequisites, course guide, course content and assessment guidance.
