📣 Become a Slalom School Club Partner

The England Slalom Talent programme is expanding its Slalom School programme with a new Club Partner model, working with English clubs and coaches to support and enable coaching delivery at the moving water tier within the Slalom School pathway.

Since 2021, the Slalom School has supported paddlers and club coaches through inclusive training and development camps, helping paddlers build their technical skills and white water confidence, while supporting coaches to develop their technical knowledge.

The new Club Partner model aims to:
🌊 Increase access to localised support
🌊 Reduce travel time for paddlers and families
🌊 Improve access to localised moving water coaching
🌊 Support clubs to develop their coaching capacity

English-based slalom clubs are invited to apply to become a formal Slalom School Club Partner and can apply to host up to five Slalom School events between November 2026 and October 2027.
