Members have the opportunity to work towards Paddle UK Paddle Awards and Personal Performance Awards.
Other Paddle UK courses and qualification are also held at Eagle Paddlesports Club, run by the Club or other external providers. These include Foundation Safety and Rescue training, BC coaching qualifications and paddlesport-specific first aid courses.
For existing members who want to develop their skills Eagle Paddlesports Club supports and encourages members to gain skills in leadership and coaching.
On Tuesday evenings throughout the summer months, we hold This Girl Can paddling sessions for our female members. These ladies-only sessions are part of a national campaign aimed to build confidence on the water and encourage more women and girls to take up and enjoy paddlesports. The sessions focus on skills and activities participants would like to practice and develop alongside taking part in British Canoeing awards and club night sessions.
If you would like to come along and find out more we run taster sessions over the summer months – please see our calendar for dates and email secretary@eaglepaddlesportsclub.co.uk to book a place.
Throughout the year, we offer an exciting programme of local day trips and weekends away, providing our members with the opportunity to paddle and explore a variety of water environments. We cater for different abilities and interests, featuring activities such as touring the scenic Norfolk Broads and local rivers, white water paddling in England and Wales, and sea kayaking adventures.
To further enhance your skills, we also organise a "progressive series" of activities (white water, touring, sea kayaking) that evolve as the season progresses. Club members will receive detailed emails for each trip, outlining the required level of experience to ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure.
