We are a team of 20-30 year old paddlers with at least 1+ years of paddling experience (most have 3-4 years) and would like to recruit more paddlers with similar paddling experience for the 2008 season. We have 8-10 paddlers at the moment and are looking for more to fill the boat. We are also looking for an experienced steersperson, caller and a coach.
Last season we made it into the Rec B finals of the Alcan festival despite being a relatively new team. This year we aim to compete in the Rec A division.
Expectations from coach:
* someone who's willing to teach us
* someone who's not too soft, will push us hard to reach our goal
* someone who will commit for a couple of years and help develop the team
* someone with some coaching experience would be nice
* focus on mental conditioning
Festivals that we would like to do, most of all local ones and 2 out of town:
* Alcan (for sure)
* Kelowna (for sure)
* Victoria (maybe)
* Taiwanese (maybe)
* San Fran (maybe)
* Nanaimo (maybe)
Goals for next db season:
* improve on techniques (or learn a more efficient technique)
* improve on endurance
* come in top 4 (out of 6 teams) in qualifying rounds, top 3 would be preferred
* win gold in Rec A division in Alcan
* become ambidextrous paddler (applies to all paddlers to give more flexibility with seating arrangements)
* commitment from all members for the entire db season
Please send me a private message if you're interested.
Thanks
