  • Love to Paddle
    Love to Paddle Ocean • People • Rules JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT AUSTRALIAN OUTRIGGER CANOE RACING ASSOCIATION PROGRAM What to do with our junior outrigger paddlers? Do they all aspire to make successful representative teams? What type of outrigger training is appropriate for 12yrs? When is it appropriate to go forward for adult type loadings? What is the cost of going hard after U12yrs outcomes when we physically peak in our mid to late 20’s? How do we strike a balance so young paddlers can continue enjoying their outrigging and transition into the senior age competition ranks? VISION AOCRA is committed to the development of safe, quality, club based outrigger canoeing programs for junior aged paddlers. AOCRA has a strategic goal of using education and skills training to encourage the retention of its membership. A comprehensive coaching program designed to re-invest energy into skill progression catering for both new and existing club members has been identified. The Junior Development Committee has developed a resource designed to support late primary school and secondary school aged outrigger canoeing athletes, their parents, coaches and clubs. Developmental milestones appropriate to age and training age are presented as the foundation understanding for strategic training and skills attainment. The fundamental intention of this resource is to recognise the education and training needs of the entry-level and novice junior paddlers and present strategic progressive pathways for longer term and higher involvement within their club and the sport of outrigger canoeing. The principles and philosophy of LONG TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT apply to all ages and sexes, and much of the discussion presented in this resource can be applied equally to our novice adult participants, the retention of members and club development .

  • Year 12 SACE Kayaking Lesson Outline
    Year 12 SACE Kayaking Lesson Outline Recreational Kayaking Recreational kayaking includes paddling efficiently, turning or stopping effectively to avoid obstacles, manoeuvring to approach other kayaks or a jetty and being safe which would include identifying dangers, avoiding capsizing as well as performing a rescue should a capsize occur, and leadership of a group. This would include performing and understanding the biomechanics of the following:- Forward and reverse paddling Sweep strokes Stern rudder Draw stroke Support stroke Emergency stop Rescues suitable to the kayak, eg. wedge, X and assisted/buddy For this to occur students need the opportunity to experience poor technique as well as good technique so they can analyse the difference using subject-specific terminology and apply feedback from instructors to understand the movement concepts and improve performance. Video would be critically important in recording for both a Diagnostic and an Improvement Analysis assessment. Providing different styles of kayaks and different length paddles will be necessary for students to experience and compare the effect on their paddling. Students need to record their paddling, comment on how it feels, measure effectiveness, and reflect / analyse changes. This could be done while paddling with a Go Pro and/or writing on water proof paper with a pencil or video from the bank. Additional recording at lunch time and immediately after the end of the day would be useful too. If students complete these activities they may achieve the Paddle Australia Basic Skills certificate, a nationally recognised certificate. Day 1 Activity What usually happens Teaching points Set up Instructors help students select an Start with reasonable foot-pegs and appropriate paddle and set foot-pegs paddle grip.

[email protected] <https://paddle.org.au> Paddle your own... Page i Introduction Welcome to paddling in Australia on behalf of Paddle Australia. Australia has a huge variety of lakes, rivers and sea conditions making for a great range of paddling activities for all. This variety, however, leads to different craft, different paddling skills and different dangers. All forms of paddling have a common base of skills and this booklet introduces you to: • paddle strokes • health and safety • craft. The variations on these central themes are learnt as experience is gained and, perhaps, specialisation takes place. Australian Canoeing also promotes the specialist areas of canoeing: Slalom, Freestyle, Sprint, Marathon, Polo, Down River and most recently, Ocean Racing. For more information on these in your State, contact local clubs or your State organisation. Start your paddling conservatively and build up as your experience and fitness develops. Join a local club for more paddler contact and for experienced help. Happy paddling! Jason Dicker Chair, Education and Safety Technical Committee About this book This book is based on the flatwater resources for the Paddle Australia Qualification Scheme.

  • PNSW Annual Report 2011 with Financials
    ' Annual Report 2011 * !"(! " - $% *. ! "!$% ++ !# "&$% +, ! PaddleNSW 2011 Annual Report 1 ( OVERVIEW PaddleNSW has now completed its third year of operation as an association. It has been an amazing journey of growth, both in membership numbers and services to members. While most of our activities have been conducted behind the scenes, some have had a more direct effect on members. For the first time, we were able to source a provider of very cost effective boat insurance, and coupled this with our membership renewals process to give our members some added value to their membership. We actively engaged the IT world in creating a new website to be unveiled at the 2011 AGM. We started the year on a sound financial footing, due to our earlier restrained expenditure and the contribution of many volunteer hours by the management committee. Primary expenditure this year involved the payment of AC affiliation fees and the employment of a paid staff, initially for 16 hrs / week. Additional administration assistance was sourced for several projects, especially those of education development and membership processing, taking our combined office hours up to 38 hrs / week. See ‘personnel’. Commencing this year, PaddleNSW has actively developed the ‘Paddle Australia’ event sanctioning process. It provides organisations new to paddling an opportunity to conduct events with the guarantee of event quality through guidance by the State Association and Australian Canoeing. Several very successful events have been held in diverse locations throughout the state, and the process is opening up new opportunities for PaddleNSW to extend its sphere of influence. Some Paddlesports Technical Committees, in particular Marathon and Open Water, have excelled at promoting and developing their area of paddlesports.
