31 Forward paddling ³ Sit up straight, rotate forwards and plant the blade in the water. The lower arm is fully extended. ³ Pull the blade towards the hip with the power coming from body rota:on. The arm is straight for the first part of the stroke with the elbow bending toward the end of the movement. ³ The upper arm is spearing the paddle down, into the water. ³ Slice the blade out of the water as it reaches the hip. 31

32 Forward sweep The forward sweep turns the boat. ³ Working arm straight ³ Arc kept as wide as possible ³ Paddle is kept low and flat ³ Good body rota:on encourage paddlers to look at the paddle as it sweeps through the water (but must undo this once the stroke is mastered) 32

48 Capsize drill Capsizing can be an in:mida:ng affair, especially for people new to paddling. Before letng new paddlers free on the water, do a capsize drill with them. ³ It is best to do this with someone standing in the water beside the boat, ready to assist if needed ³ Let the paddler capsize into the water in their own :me ³ To exit, lean forward and pull the spray deck release strap, follow by placing each hand on the side of the boat and beside the hips. Push and roll forward and out. ³ Swim to the back of the kayak, collect the paddle, and move off the playing area. 48

52 123 go! River bank or edge of pool ³ Players line up with the nose of their kayak against the river bank or edge of pool ³ The name of two players is called and the ball is thrown several metres away. ³ When the ball hits the water both players turn and sprint to the ball ³ They compete to win it and return it to the thrower 52

53 Y-drill A B C ³ Players form three groups A, B, and C ³ The first player of one group throws the ball to an open area in front of goal and calls for a player, by name, from each of the other groups to retrieve the ball for a shot at goal. (For example, player A throws the ball and calls for players B and C to get the ball.) ³ The two players work to gain possession and ul:mately to shoot at goal. The player not winning the ball becomes a defender to block the shot. 53

54 Brandy ³ One player starts with the ball and strikes (brands) any other player with it ³ Once branded, that player joins the first player and together they agempt to brand the remaining players. ³ The game is complete when every player has been branded. The rules of the game are: To brand a player, the ball must touch either the front or rear deck of their kayak. A ball striking the sides or bogom of the kayak, or the paddle, does not count. A ball striking a player does not count. 54

55 Getting better GeTng beger at sport takes :me and prac:ce. Encourage players to do: Ø lots of skills and drills Ø lots of ball skills Ø lots of passes and shots Ø lots of individual boat skills Ø lots of tackling and lots of being tackled 55
