Support your Coach Development

Join Jenny Coe, a highly respected and experienced coach developer, for a series of Coach Development sessions to support National Team and non-Olympic discipline coaches.

Each session will explore a topic pertinent to coaching, including coaching environments, planning, personal development and wellbeing, working within a team, a person first approach and challenging conversations.

During each workshop, you will discuss and explore the topic with other like-minded coaches. After each session you will then have the opportunity to attend a follow up sense making workshop, for reflection and to delve deeper into the topic.

Pathway opportunities for Slalom Coaches

British Canoeing Awarding Body is pleased to announce that it has developed an alternative pathway for Slalom Coaches, and is now offering two regulated qualifications:

  • Slalom Coach (Grade 1/2) 
  • Slalom Coach (Grade 2/3)

During a review of the existing pathway for Slalom Coaches it was evident that many clubs do not operate within the environmental definitions of moderate water (Grade 2/3) and the need to provide opportunities for those coaching slalom within clubs to gain a regulated qualification.
