Goals of the Performance Pathway
The CANI Performance Pathway aims to enable talented Northern Irish paddlers to enter British Canoeing World Class Programmes or Canoe Ireland High Performance Programmes and go on to win medals in these canoeing disciplines. This framework is designed to provide the best level of coaching available at the correct level for paddlers involved in the CANI Performance Pathway.
Delivery of the Vision
The minimum standards of delivery will influence the very beginning of the Performance Pathway and look to raise the standard of the coaches working at this stage of a paddler’s development. The concept is to help and support coaches to reach excellence at the early stages of a paddler’s development to allow these athletes to move up the CANI Performance Pathway with sound basic skills.
Below you will find information about the specific minimum standards of deployment that CANI will be developing to ensure a seamless delivery of our Vision:
Canoe Slalom
Canoe Sprint
Surf Kayak and Waveski
