Interested in improving your performance as a coach or paddle?
If you’re a coach or paddler, the CANI Coach and Paddler Development conference could be the ideal event for you to attend. Designed to provide information on the latest developments within canoe sport, this is a must attend event for those looking to find out what’s new in the sport and are looking to improve coaching or personal skills. For the first time ever CANI is opening the event to other similar sports as there is a wealth of knowledge that can be learned from our fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Because of this, demand is expected to be high so book early to avoid disappointment. Based in Tollymore National Outdoor Centre all courses will have excellent facilities with use of their first class conference facilities and some will have access to the gym and rolling pool.

What’s it all about?
The weekend is a series of either half or full day workshops on a variety of aspects of paddlesport and development as a coach or paddler. The sessions are being delivered by highly experienced and inspirational experts.
The programme is a mix of both British Canoeing CPD and other CPD opportunities, both of which will help you develop as a paddler/coach and will work towards staying current and up to date as a coach. If you are on a pathway to completing your BCU UKCC Level 3 coach or you are interested in becoming BCU UKCC Level 3 Coach, then the Optimising Fitness and Performance 1 and 2 will be part of your pathway. The workshops will be pitched to meet your needs as a coach or paddler.
“I attended this event last year and it was excellent. It was packed full of useful info and ideas which really helped me as a paddler and as a coach. The balance between learning and having some fun was just right. I’ve seen this year’s program and there’s definitely something for everyone – paddlers and coaches.”
