What is Team Red?
The Canoe Kayak Canada (CKC) Team Red program's goal is to drive system wide development and performance that encourages Provincial and National participation, results comparison, and engagement. Team Red’s vision is that all Canoe Kayak athletes are fundamentally on the same team. We share a love for the sport and a drive to improve. The markers to assess our improvement and the culture from which we thrive and train our athletes are our ultimate objectives in the continued work on the Team Red athlete pathway. |
2021 SEASON: TEAM RED
As the restrictions start to ease across the country and there is some semblance of normal, CKC is excited to be able to launch this version of Team Red for the 2021 season. Team Red’s vision is that all Canoe Kayak athletes are fundamentally on the same team. We share a love for the sport and a drive to improve. The markers to assess our improvement and the culture from which we thrive and train our athletes are our ultimate objectives in the continued work on the Team Red athlete pathway.
This season’s activation includes some of the traditional Team Red on-water testing, but also activities to help promote the development of basic athletic skills for younger athletes. The 2021 Team Red activities will engage and digitally connect our community members across the country, with the goal of motivating and encouraging athletes to keep up their great work and to know they are not alone in their pursuits. The event is free to all participants. Clubs can submit their member's competition or in-training results any time through the event time period. Events can be completed as many times as desired, with the best performance in each event being submitted for CKC Team Red and Ontario Cup Power Ranking results. OBJECTIVES
