  • Provide coaching and development programmes from local to international level

Information for Voluntary Coaches

We understand that volunteer coaches are the lifeblood of our sport - without them most of us wouldn't have started paddling. That's why one of our primary aims is to ensure that any coaches giving their time voluntarily to clubs or voluntary organisations are given the support they need to continue their sterling work.

This section of the website includes all information that is specific to volunteer coaches such as funding for further training and club development schemes.
