The Paddle Australia Learning and Development Project is a long term project aimed at developing, reviewing, and delivering accreditations and personal development education opportunities across five identified work streams (coaching, volunteering, PAQS, officiating and paddling).
Following support from the Australian Sports Commission and feedback from our stakeholders, PA has developed a proposed Learning and Development framework and coaching accreditation scheme. These two concepts are outlined in the video below.
The Paddle Australia Learning and Development Framework aims to develop a culture of continued engagement and belonging. PA believes Learning and Development is a key component in promoting these values and allowing our clubs, paddlers and sport to learn and grow.
The Paddle Australia Coaching accreditation scheme will support the Learning and development framework, recognising that our paddling community is diverse and rich with experience and practical knowledge. We want to encourage and support our coaches to be their best, regardless of what environment or who they are coaching.
