Our Instructors Complete Paddle-Ability Training

Two of our instructors joined a Paddle-Ability workshop on Saturday, taking part in a day of training focused on delivering more inclusive and accessible paddle sessions.

The workshop was expertly delivered by SUP Active Yorkshire and gave our instructors practical tools and approaches to make paddlesport genuinely welcoming to people of all abilities — something we’re committed to developing at WYCC.

Inclusive coaching isn’t just a nice idea; it’s about making sure that anyone who wants to get on the water can do so in a session that’s designed with them in mind. Alongside the training, we’re now looking into what equipment and access arrangements we can put in place to make future sessions more accessible for our members. We’ll share more on that as plans develop.

Thanks to the team at Manvers Waterfront Boat Club for hosting and for the invitation to join them.
