The Performance program offers year-round training, and brings together all of our age 15+ paddlers as a unified Burloak team. The program is based on creating a positive and supportive team environment to bring out the best in each athlete, guided by our expert coaching staff. All experience levels are encouraged, but new paddlers should contact us or check out our Intro options first.
Goals and commitments should be discussed with coaches at the beginning of each season. There’s no wrong way to engage with the sport, but expectations should be aligned between the athlete and coaches.
National Team athletes have a special membership available. Burloak has a proud tradition of developing athletes for the Canadian Team, including World and Olympic champions. The National Team membership recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of those athletes, and accommodates their Team Canada training commitments. Contact us for details.
