Canoes Plus Kayak Club / Coaching and Training

Canoes Plus Kayak Club and Canoes Plus Racing Team have been a significant part of the Victorian and Australian Kayak and canoe scene for over 50 years. In that time, the club and their senior coaches have produced many Australian team athletes and Olympians.

Our club offers weekly training sessions to upskill your technique for whitewater and for racing. We offer coached technical sessions, fitness sessions and athlete training programs. You can come and enjoy our coached sessions on a regular basis by joining our club term training sessions, and this also includes regular club outings and river trips. We also offer school holiday programs for those wanting to advance more quickly.

The club structure accommodates both kids and adults that want to paddle and train in whitewater, whether slalom, slalom cross or wildwater, freestyle, extreme racing or river trips. Our family friendly atmosphere builds your skills so you can excel in your chosen discipline, or just enjoy running rivers.

To join and train regularly, as part of the term training groups, you need to attend a basic whitewater skills session (extra cost) to learn the skills necessary to start paddling in a regular trainign group, or if you already have experience we need to assess your standard so you can be assigned a suitable training group. We have beginner, intermediate and advanced groups.
