Introduction to Racing for Juniors - Saturday mornings

When you have finished an introductory course, we hope you will continue paddling with the club by joining a Tuesday coaching course, going for a touring paddle or on a club trip, or joining the racers at their Saturday morning sessions.

Please note that this course is open to adults and juniors over the age of 8. Juniors between the ages of 8 and 13 (inclusive) need to be accompanied by a parent or carer. The parent/carer may either join the course or walk along the bank beside the course.
