Junior Development Squad Winter Series Event 4 Sign up Now Live!

Sign up is now open for the fourth JDS winter series event for 2025/26. This will be taking place at the Norwich Canoe Club on Saturday 21st March and will be led by Matt Robinson & Scott Hynds, alongside the wider Junior Development Squad coaching team.

In addition to the event on the Saturday, Norwich Canoe Club will be running a sprint regatta on Sunday 22 March for juniors, in conjunction with hosting the BUCS regatta. Therefore, the JDS is partnering with Norwich CC to offer a full weekend of activity for juniors engaged in the JDS programme.

Saturday will focus on racing skills that can be applied at Sunday’s regatta and Sunday’s regatta will consist of  K1 500, K1 5000 and a K1 200 mixed relay. Both Saturday and Sunday will be in K1s.

The cost to attend the full weekend is £22.00, but there is also a ticket option for those who just want to attend Saturday’s JDS session.

Travel, accommodation and food are to be organised individually, unfortunately we cannot offer any of these as part of the weekend.

Junior Development Squad (JDS) is a joint initiative between the Marathon Racing Committee, Sprint Racing Committee and Paddle England Talent. Having been running as a collaborative exercise since 2021, the JDS has supported hundreds of juniors from a wide spread of clubs to develop their racing skills, create long-term friendships and increase exposure to crew boats.
