Novice U16 (Intro 2 Sprint)
Whether you're stepping into the world of sports for the first time or you're a seasoned athlete seeking a fresh experience, our doors are open to you. Whether you're in search of recreation and enjoyment or you thrive on challenging yourself, we extend a warm welcome.
Although most of our new paddlers are U14 age, each year we are thrilled to receive new paddlers in the 14+ ages. For these paddlers we typically group the men and women together for the introductory lessons. When ready, and in conversation with the coaches, the new paddlers will be introduced to our existing team of similar age. Our existing paddling team is always welcoming to new and potential team mates. We hope new paddlers will consider joining the team as we prepare to travel to the Canadian Championships near the end of August. Following the introduction to sprint canoe kayak, U16 and older groups typically practice in the morning and evening after the day program. Our team has paddlers of all levels, and competes at local, regional, national and international events. Enjoy your intro to the sport and we hope you will stay on.
