The mission of the League is to generate healthy local competition to encourage paddlers of all abilities to take part in races either on a recreational or a competitive basis.
The League has been initialled by clubs and each event will be managed/ hosted by a club. Results of each official event will be collected centrally to generate a League table for a club competition and for individual competition.
To be a success we need as many paddlers of all abilities to take part so spread the word and get along to take part. Next event is a flat water race on the Bann on the 9th of March, hosted by CCKA
The information site for the league is: on facebook at ‘Paddle 4 Sport’
