Centres can now sign up to deliver U Canoe Unleashed

This exciting new offer is available to Centres across England looking to enhance their offer to young people participating in canoeing at their centre. Unleashed sessions are primarily aimed at beginner paddlers and can provide a great starting point to progress further into the sport of canoeing through fun, informal activities that inspires the participants in a socially engaging environment.

The programme has a range of activities put together in an easy to use resource enabling the young people to choose their own outcomes and ‘canoe your way’. The resource pack is also supported by a U Canoe Unleashed kit bag which is available to purchase.

It’s easy to get started. Just fill out the registration forms and return them to Canoe England. A Canoe England Development Officer will visit your centre to go through the resources and train your coaches to become ‘Activators’.
