WHAT CAN A SUP COACH DO?
The Coach Award is designed for you, to support you coaching paddlers who want to gain/improve paddlesport skills. You will coach SUP in the sheltered water environment. This will include coaching beginners new to the sport, or paddlers looking to develop their skills. As a Coach you can work independently or you could be deployed by a club, centre or organisation. Being a SUP Coach allows you to design coaching to support their learners and provide British Canoeing Awards and Training such as:
- Personal Performance Awards – for example the Start Award, Discover Award, Explore Award and SUP Sheltered Water Award.
Note: other experience, training or qualifications may be required find out more in Paddle Up Training develop skills section.
