Racing Perform Award Provider

What the Role Entails

By delivering the Racing Perform Award you will help a paddler further progress their skills to compete at a higher level. This includes developing their use of wash and forward paddling skills. You will also help them in adapting to racing within a crew boat.

The Racing Perform Award is paddler-focused.

At Paddles Up Training we want you to help paddlers take charge of their learning by:

• Supporting your paddlers to become independent.
• Helping your paddlers to be clear ‘what’s next’ for them.

Once you feel ready, when you have the confidence to run the Racing Perform Award yourself, you will need a Final Recommendation. This must be from a current Racing Perform Award Provider.

Final Recommendation

You will work with an existing Provider of the Racing Perform Award. When you are both happy you fully understand the Racing Perform Award and the requirements of being a Provider, they will then send us their Final Recommendation. The role will then be added to your British Canoeing record.

You can find out more in the Final Recommendation Guidance Document.
