This program is offered to boys and girls 14 years of age and under.  It provides an introduction to competitive paddling.  In addition to racing, there is a strong emphasis placed on water safety, skill development and fun.

This program is divided into Spring (May and June) and Summer (July and August) segments.  The main differences ae that there are fewer competitions in the Spring and fewer practices (three times per week).  Also, as participants are still in school, practice times are after school and on Saturday mornings.  There is a basic Spring practice schedule available but paddlers should consult with their coach as sessions may change from time to time.

In the Summer, the program runs from 9:30 am to 1 pm on Tuesday to Fridays.  Starting in mid June races (regattas) are held on most Saturdays.  It is a reasonable expectation that beginners can and will compete against other clubs at regattas.  Parents, please attend all information meetings and ask questions at any time, phone calls are encouraged!
