The new Personal Performance Awards are designed for paddlers wanting to gain recognition of their learning and development, in the craft and environment they choose.
The process of completing the awards is based on learning. The ethos of ‘supporting the paddler’ is the main focus of all the awards, encouraging individuals in their personal development.
Lee Pooley, British Canoeing Awarding Body Responsible Officer, says:
“British Canoeing Awarding Body is delighted to be announcing the new Personal Performance Awards. They will replace the existing ‘Star Awards’ from January 2019.
“The development of the new awards has been an exciting project with many paddlers involved in creating Personal Performance Awards for paddlers, as well as people new to paddlesport.”
