Yorkshire Region Winter Slalom Training

Yorkshire region are putting on coaching sessions for up and coming slalom paddlers over the winter. You'll get top quality coaching on a variety of established slalom venues.

As you will see most of these are at 'big water' venues so  are best suited to those looking to improve and move up the divisions - that way when you do get promoted you are already used to the water at the next level up. However there are options at each of the venues for less experienced paddlers to use easier parts of the river to build up skills and experience. (e.g. at Holme Peirrepont there is easier water at the bottom, at the Tryweryn there are easy section to the Graveyard).

From past experience there will be groups of paddlers at different levels (from Prem to Div 3 paddlers) at each session and every effort is made to ensure you get something out of the sessions at a level to suit you (or perhaps just push you on a bit)

Also included in the list are some Div 4 slaloms and mini slaloms running over the winter
