31 Grup management Grup players accrding t skill level Plan fr the the different needs and expectatins f players junirs, senirs, wmen and nvice Be aware f the age and develpment differences: a strng bisterus 17 year ld can be quite daunting t a quiet 14 year ld less skilled players can be disheartened by mre skilled players Keep paddlers fcused and active 31

32 Grup management Keep paddlers tgether and within cntrl Crrect inapprpriate play, activity, r language when it ccurs t set yur expectatins at the utset Set bundaries t the training area D nt let paddlers wander If a large grup, appint an assistant cach 32

33 Teaching sprting skills learning Understanding the three stages f learning mtives gd practise: 1. Early stage learning a new skill; actins must be thught thrugh and carefully mnitred. There tends t be many errrs and mvement is ften clumsy. 2. Intermediate stage a basic cmmand f the skill; allwing better cntrl and crdinatin but still requiring a cnscius effrt. 3. Final stage the new skill is happening autmatically and uncnsciusly. If pr technique is tlerated in the early stage, it becmes the technique used in the final phase. 33

62 Reference pints Reference pints allw cnsistent identificatin and assessment f imprtant aspects f technique Identify three reference pints fr the technique yu are bserving and use them cnsistently between players Example: frward paddling 1. Gd bdy rtatin t place the paddle 2. Paddle is full depth 3. Paddle exits at the hip

63 Frward paddling There are fur parts t the frward strke: 1. Catch Sit up straight but relaxed Rtate frward twards the ft, plant the blade in the water s that it frms an angle f ~80 with the side f the kayak. The lwer arm is fully extended. The catch shuld be as far frward as pssible, and as vertical as practical. T encurage bdy rtatin, keep the paddle shaft parallel with the shulders. The tp arm drives the paddle dwn int the water. 6

64 Frward paddling 2. Pwer Push n the ftrest n the side f the strke Pull the blade twards the hip with the pwer cming frm the bdy rtating back. The arm is straight fr the first part f the strke, the elbw bending tward the end f the strke. 3. Exit Lift the blade sideways and ut f the water as it reaches the hip Recvery arm shuld travel n a plane level with the shulder 4. Recvery The bdy is prepared fr the next strke 7

65 Catch 8

66 Exit and recvery 9

67 Frward sweep The frward sweep turns the bat frm the bw. Key pints Wrking arm straight Arc shuld be as wide as pssible Paddle is kept lw in a hrizntal plane Gd bdy rtatin t assist bdy rtatin, encurage paddlers t lk at the paddle as it sweeps thrugh the water. This must be untaught nce bdy rtatin is mastered. Recvery arm is kept wide f the bdy, watch fr the recvery arm being held clse int the waist. 10

68 Reverse sweep The reverse sweep turns the bat frm the stern. Key pints Use the back f the blade Wrking arm straight Arc as wide as pssible Paddle is kept lw in a hrizntal plane Gd bdy rtatin t assist bdy rtatin, encurage paddlers t lk at the paddle as it sweeps thrugh the water. This must be untaught nce bdy rtatin is mastered. Watch fr the cmmn fault f the recvery arm cming t clse t the bdy and cramping the strke. 11

69 Reverse sweep set up 12

70 Draw The draw strke mves the kayak sideways Key pints Full bdy rtatin t face the directin f travel The lwer arm is extended but nt rigid The tp arm is statinary and acts as a pivt. It frames the face, with the frearm in frnt f the frehead. Mve the kayak t the paddle Feather the blade as it cmes t the side f the kayak t start a new strke.

71 Draw 14

72 Linking strkes Once a player has all the basic strkes mastered, it is time t link them tgether. By linking strkes, a player can get the maximum effectiveness ut f every strke they d in a game situatin. Every strke must be efficient in terms f pwer and turning effect. 15

73 Mdule CP111 Kayak Rll 2

74 Rlling Rlling is a crucial skill Withut a cnfident rlling technique players are hesitant t cmmit t the play and t the ball Teach it sn Teach it in a swimming pl

75 Types f kayak rll Hand rlls Back deck Frnt deck Upright Rlling with the ball Paddle rlls C t C Sweep rll We will cver the back deck rll and the frnt deck hand rlls

76 Rlling technique Bth the back deck and frnt deck rlls are cmmn in cane pl. Players that als paddle white water prefer the frnt deck rll because it prtects the face when rlling n rivers. (The back deck rll expses the face, which can be injured if striking rcks r the river bed.) Bth rlls wrk by creating a lw centre f gravity fr the turning frces t vercme Learn bth rlls!

77 Back deck rll The easiest rll t learn It wrks by keeping the bdy flat n the back deck t create a lw the centre f gravity fr turning frces must vercme Teach it in a pl, standing beside the trainee fr immediate supprt if needed Be patient, take it slwly and explain what is required Be aware that many peple are reluctant t g under water (at first!)

78 Back deck hand rll 1 Setup lean back and reach t the surface with bth hands

79 Back deck hand rll 2 Drive the thigh dwn int the thigh brace t turn the bat n the water (the thigh n the ppsite side t the hands reaching t the surface) Bth hands sweep dwn thrugh the water (but fcus is n the thighs, nt the hands)

80 Back deck hand rll 3 The head stays n the back deck thrughut the rll

81 Back deck hand rll 4 Finish by sitting upright

82 Frnt deck rll Strnger and mre pwerful than the back deck rll It wrks by keeping the bdy frward against the frnt deck t create a lw the centre f gravity Teach it in a pl, standing beside the trainee fr immediate supprt if needed Be patient, take it slwly and explain what is required Be aware that many peple are reluctant t g under water (at first!)

83 Frnt deck hand rll 1 Setup lean frward and reach t the surface with bth hands

84 Frnt deck hand rll 2 Drive the thigh dwn int the thigh brace t turn the bat n the water (the thigh n the ppsite side t the hands reaching t the surface) Bth hands sweep dwn thrugh the water (but fcus is n the thighs, nt the hands) The head cmes ut f the water last

85 Frnt deck hand rll 3 The head stays dwn and frward thrughut the rll

86 Frnt deck hand rll 4 Finish by sitting upright

87 Hand rlling dn ts D nt attempt t push ff the water with the hands. This takes the fcus ff the thigh actin needed t rll the bat. D nt reach ut away frm the bat t gain leverage. This makes the rll mre difficult because it mves the bdy s centre f gravity away frm the bat t increase the dwnward frces that must be vercme. D nt slap n the water. This is a waste f energy and des nt assist the rle

88 Mdule CP112 Kayak Cntrl 2

89 Kayak cntrl Kayak cntrl must becme an autmatic skill Players use the size and shape f the kayak t utmaneuvre an ppnent, t win r t prtect the ball

90 Kayak cntrl Six aspects f kayak cntrl: flat turn edging nse and tail cntrl gaining and maintaining pssessin turning n the ball turning int the tackle 4

91 Flat turn Turning the kayak turn the kayak with a flat turn r a stern turn stern turns are an advanced skill and best avided until paddlers have mastered the flat turn The flat turn is the mst cmmn turn in cane pl it is easy and quick in mst cases, it is best fr maintaining kayak psitin n an ppnent 5

92 Flat turn Key pints Bat mving frward Sweep strke t start the turn Immediately fllwed by bw draw t maintain mmentum and cntinue the turn Link seamlessly t a frward strke t take the bat ut f the turn and frward Keep kayak flat r at a slight learn t the side f the sweep strke 6

93 Flat turn 7

94 Edging Edging refers t the bat sitting n its side Typically the kayak is edged in cmbinatin with paddling strkes t vary turns r t dive the nse r tail under anther bat. Edging is als effective fr stpping attacking players and fr prtecting the ball frm an ppnent. Edging the kayak t the left r right changes the water line n the deck and makes it difficult fr an ppnent t get underneath 8

95 Nse and tail cntrl Nse cntrl Nse cntrl refers t the actin f lifting the nse ver, r pushing it under, an ppnent. The ideal tackle is t get the kayak beneath an ppnent. Because with the ppnent sitting n tp f the attacker, they can be easily pushed t wherever the attacker wants them. T get beneath anther kayak, the nse is dipped using frward strkes r frward sweeps. With frward strkes Used when appraching anther kayak at With a pwerful frward strke, and bth feet pushing n the ft pegs, lean frward t push the nse under the water and beneath an ppnent. 9

96 Nse and tail cntrl With sweep strkes Used when appraching at an angle T get nse under lift the utside knee and thrw yur weight frward t bunce the nse under water. Use a pwer sweep t turn the kayak twards the ppnent. T get nse ver lift the inside knee and use frward sweep t lift nse ver the ther kayak. Tail cntrl Tail cntrl similar t nse cntrl can be simply a matter f edging yur kayak t get under yur ppsitin, r it can invlve deliberately dipping yur tail. Either way the principles are the same as fr nse cntrl. 10

97 Lwer the nearside edge t tackle frm behind 11

98 Gaining pssessin with the bat Always get yur kayak between yur ppnent s kayak and the ball Try t get under yur ppnent t get the cntrl psitin Keep paddling until the ball is adjacent t yur knees. Then either turn int the tackle t maintain directin r turn n the ball t gain field psitin and time. 12

99 Get yur bat between the ppnent and the ball 13

100 Get yur bat between the ppnent and the ball 14

101 Psitin the kayak between the ppnent and the ball, and keep paddling 15

102 Turning n the ball One f the best skills t have is the ability t turn n the ball. By leaving the ball n the water and using turning strkes, flat turns and supprt strkes, yu can maintain pssessin indefinitely. Using a flat turn and lw supprt strkes, keep the kayak between yur ppnent and the ball at all times. Always lk at the ball, nt at the ppnent r their kayak. Keep the ball arund knee level s there is little chance fr an ppnent t steal it. Use the paddle t keep the ball within arms reach. 16

103 Get yur bat between yur ppnent and the ball and turn n the ball t maintain field psitin r free up fr next pass 17

104 Turn n the ball 18

105 Get yur bat between the ppnent and the ball 19

106 Tackling frm behind t get ball 20

107 Bracing thrugh a tackle 21

108 Turning int tackle At times, it may be better t turn int a tackle and get under the ppnent. Fr example, when yu want t remain gal side f an ppnent, r near a bundary line. When tackled n a fast break, it is smetimes pssible t hld directin (and even dribble) twards gal, as the ppnent pushes yu in the directin yu wish t g. 22

109 Turning int tackle Key Pints Use yu edges t get under yur ppnent Brace and pwer sweep thrugh the initial tackle n the far side frm yur ppnent t maintain yur psitin and directin. Keep the ball next t yur knees and in arms reach s yu can get a pass r sht away 23

110 Get yur bat between yur ppnent and the ball and maintain directin t the gal and sht 24

111 Turn yur back n ppnents t avid hand tackles 25

112 Use yur knees t edge the kayak 26

113 Lift the nearside edge t keep yur kayak between the ppnent and the ball 27
