England Talent Programme:
C1 development days for Athletes and Club Coaches

As part of British Canoeing's strategic plan to achieve a balanced (gender and class) inclusion across all squads within the England Slalom Talent Programme there are a number of training days and camps planned focused around C1 Development.

More camps have now been added over the 2018/19 winter period. The content of the days will be bespoke to the needs and abilities of those individuals who expressed an interest in attending.

The England Slalom Talent Programme truly want to impact C1 development and want to ensure that the learning outcomes from these days are carried into regular sessions. Coaches are highly encouraged to attend with their athletes and there will be a focus on coach development built into the days provision.

More details about this day can be found HERE>
