Training
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.
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.
