PERFORMANCE PADDLING PROGRAMS
U14 DEVELOPMENT
AGES: U14
​
Our Development Program is the perfect introduction to competitive canoe and kayaking for U14 paddlers. Our paddling season runs from May to October, and we focus on developing the physical, mental, and psychological aspects of our athletes as they transition into more competitive phases of their athletic career.
​
Our program is designed to help athletes develop proper canoe and kayak technique, as well as general and sport-specific conditioning, team boat skills, and racing performance skills. We prioritize positive teamwork, competitiveness, commitment, goal orientation, confidence, and sportsmanship in all of our training sessions.
​
During the summer months, our athletes will engage in a variety of off-water training activities, including running, soccer, dry-land games, plyometrics, medicine ball workouts, and weight training.
