Developmental Group

Are you considering registering your youth in our Youth Paddling Program? During the summer, we practice at 9 a.m. on weekdays; however, it's not mandatory to attend every practice. We understand that today's youth have busy lives, especially during the summer! During the school year, we meet from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays and from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays. 

Check out the Schedule for updates!

When the season prevents us from paddling on the water, we turn to other fun sports such as soccer, skiing, skating on the river trail (the trail comes right by our club), running, weight training, training on the stationary bikes at the Sport Manitoba Building, and swimming.

In addition, these youth have the opportunity to participate in training camps abroad!
