Congratulations on completing your Sports Leaders UK qualification and thank you for your interest in volunteering with Canoe England, the National Governing Body for Canoeing.
Canoeing is a sport rich in potential for young and old - the adventurous and the more cautious. The sport offers a wide range of disciplines, some based on competition and others based on touring or adventure.
From the Olympic disciplines of sprint and slalom, or the thrilling polo and freestyle, to the recreational trips down rivers or on the sea, there really is something for everyone.
Now you have completed your Sports Leaders UK course, why not develop your skills further as a volunteer in canoeing? There are many different ways in which you can volunteer for Canoe England so click on the links below to find out more information:
