• small teams/groups of (2-4) paddlers working together, supporting each other on their journey
• three (separate) days of practical on-the-water support for each team, where they will be working with an experienced female coach on whatever they all need
• regular online mentoring sessions to help people continue their progression
• tailored individual advice and support to participants to navigate their journey

Prerequisites

The programme is open to anyone:

• who identifies as a woman or as a marginalised gender and is comfortable in a space that centres around the experience of women
• who lives in Scotland (SCA membership will be required)
• aged 14-70+
• who has aspirations to get qualified as a Paddlesport Instructor, Coach or Leader

Numbers

We are looking for a group of up to 24 female paddlers, to form six teams/groups of 2-4 paddlers each.
