Inverness Canoe Club - Kayaking and Canoeing in the Scottish Highlands

Following a series of mixed and discipline-specific club coaches' meeting in February 2011, the committee has put together a draft training and assessment schedule for the year ahead.

In order for these courses to run, we are relying on as many qualified coaches in the club as possible to come forward and volunteer; some to organise, some to assist. Whether you're a Level 1 or a seasonded L3 coach, your help will be vital if we are to succeed in providing a varied programme.

A list of the courses that we hope to run is included below. If you are interested in organising, running or assisting on one or more, please email the associated discipline organiser; Matt Speke (River & Surf), Margaret Pearson (Sea) and Malcolm Wield (Open).

If you have any general questions, please email Matt Speke, our Coaching Development Officer: coaching@invernesscc.org.uk
