Policy
Southbourne
Canoe Club (SCC) endeavours to provide both formal training, recognised by the
British Canoe Union, and informal training organised by club members. Training
is however dependent upon the goodwill of our more senior members and can only
be provided free of charge with their consent. There is no automatic entitlement
to it as a member. From 2009 anyone
wishing to do training must be a member of the club before signing up with the
Training Officer. Formal Training
Formal training will follow the requirements
of the BCU star test system. SCC coaches (time and goodwill permitting) are able
to provide the following: - Inland
kayaking - 1, 2 and 3 star level training & assessment, plus 4 star training.
- Sea
kayaking - 1, 2 and 3 star level training & assessment, plus 4 star training.
- Open
canoeing - 1 & 2 star training.
- Surf
kayaking - not available at present.
Coach
training can be arranged via the club through the District BCU Training officer. Training
Costs
As
mentioned above there is no automatic entitlement to formal training. It
is provided by club members on a goodwill basis and as such is free of charge.
If you require training on a more personal (or rapid) basis then you should approach
one of our coaches and enquire as to any fees payable. Assessment
Costs (Star Tests)
There
is a £5.00 charge (to cover the cost of providing certificates and badges) for
each stage of the BCU Star tests. The charge is payable upon successful
completion of each assessment. More
