Paddlesport Performance Awards

2007 sees the launch of the BCU's new Performance Award scheme - the new STAR AWARDS and the new PADDLEPOWER AWARDS.

This new scheme provides a balanced progression for paddlers, supports them as they move through their sport and, most importantly, encourages them to go paddling. The scheme has been developed around the needs of to-days paddlers, with direction taken from the findings of the the BCU Paddlesport Review and the BCU Long term Paddler Development Review.

Basically, this new scheme is based on 5 year's worth of research and reflects current best practice as defined by Paddlesports leading experts.

Star Awards



The new Star Award scheme provides the support and encouragement paddlers need to get out and go paddling. The initial awards are generic, encouraging paddlers to experience the various disciplines of Paddlesport availalbe, with paddlers 'specialising' at the Three Star Award.

The emphasis of these initial awards is to develop personal skills and gain independence; the Four Star and Five Star awards are leadership awards and enable paddlers to lead groups in appropriate conditions. The Star Award Scheme best suits paddlers aged 16 and over.
