Do you need guidance to deliver the Paddle Awards?
Getting ready for your Spring paddlesport sessions? Want to include the Paddle Awards but not sure where to start? Watch these short videos which support Instructors, Coaches, Leaders, Raft Guides and Bell Boat Helms in their delivery of the NEW Paddle Awards.
There are short videos for each of the Paddle Start, Discover and Explore Awards, talking through the Course Content covering 'Getting Ready', 'At the Venue', On the Water' and 'After the Session and Future Development'. These videos are a supportive mechanism for Providers, help to develop the paddlers' understanding of what is covered, as well as the standard required to achieve their award.

Every British Canoeing Instructor, Coach, Leader, Guide and Bell Boat Helm is able to deliver some of the NEW Personal Performance Awards! Every Provider will need to take the Personal Performance Awards Provider eLearning. The activities will give a range of information about how Providers can support paddlers and all the information they need to know about the Personal Performance Awards.
