The BCU Long Term Paddler Development Pathway has been published. This 48 page, full colour, document outlines a logical progression of development that supports paddlers from the day they first get in a boat over a span of many years. It explains the necessary building blocks required to progress through our sport, and provides information about what paddlers should be doing at the various stages throughout their development, it covers elements such as skill, fitness, psychology and tactics.
It is relevant to paddlers and deliverers across all disciplines of our sport. It is equally relevant for the competitive and non-competitive paddlers as well as high performers and recreational participants.
