Women's Coach/Leader Development Programme

May 13, 2022

The SCA is currently accepting applications for the Women's Coach/Leader Development Programme until May 31st 2022.

This is a brand new tailored programme to support female paddlers to achieve coaching, leading or instructing qualifications either as a first step or to advance existing qualifications. It is centred around a supportive, inclusive, non-judgemental environment, with:

  • small teams/groups of (2-4) paddlers working together, supporting each other on their journey
  • three (separate) days of practical on-the-water support for each team, where they will be working with an experienced female coach on whatever they all need
  • regular online mentoring sessions to help people continue their progression
  • tailored individual advice and support to participants to navigate their journey


Prerequisites


The programme is open to anyone:

  • who identifies as a woman or as a marginalised gender and is comfortable in a space that centres around the experience of women
  • who lives in Scotland (SCA membership will be required)
  • aged 14-70+
  • who has aspirations to get qualified as a Paddlesport Instructor, Coach or Leader


Numbers


We are looking for a group of up to 24 female paddlers, to form six teams/groups of 2-4 paddlers each.
