Please Send us your paddlers team registrations with all your age groups in one rego. Steerers in notes.
I.e., one for all the 12u participating, one for the 14u participating etc because this format is new for
juniors, we will be placing paddlers in teams, where we can, we will keep clubs together as much as
possible.

This is a relay format. In order to get every child paddling, we will be making
teams up, we aren’t big meanies and do understand that clubs, train in their
teams together, we all do. In this case I ask coaches to please remember we
are not racing for sheep stations. This is an awesome fun and inclusive event
designed to build friendships between our junior club members. Our kids will
also get to know the other coaches who will be coordinating teams on the
beach. Its about being social, about family and bringing our zone together as
we support our growing junior contingent.

Please send separate team registration for the V1 paddlers. Put V1 in notes.

Please note we will need to pool our V1s, and we will need OC6s.
Contact Connie with your craft availability.
