This season DBSA will look to do things a little differently for State Team taking on board some of the survey outcomes from last season including duration of the training period and the number of overall sessions.

The  training program will commence on Saturday and Sunday 7th and 8th January whereby it is hoped Clubs and paddlers will be committed to attending the National Championships. 

All age groups (except Juniors) will commence training through January as a State Team with 3 coaches ensuring that all age groups get the opportunity to have the same training with no cancelled sessions due to numbers.

To register your interest for Premier, Senior A, Senior B or Senior C, as a paddler, drummer or sweep please complete the expression of interest using the below link or scanning the QR that will be posted at training locations.

The weekend 7^th & 8^th January will allow paddlers to attend one or both sessions whilst working around Club training times as it is difficult to find a time that will suit all Clubs training times.  The aim is that by the end of February age group crews will have been selected, State Team race tops will be ordered and then crews will where possible train in the age group to assist with boat set ups.

The coaching crew will be Julie Lister, Sharon Etherington (Powerblades) and Chris Wood (ACDC).
