ASRCA Coaching Grants

The Alberta Sprint Racing Canoe Association is proud to announce we are investing in coach programming to assist in funding those who would like the opportunity to be a part of the transformative power of sport. This new programming has been made possible through the Government of Canada, with the support of the Ministry of Sport and Physical Activity and Recreation.

We are focusing on delivering grants that support future generations of coaches. This funding will support different levels of coaching in hopes of encouraging coaches to continue developing their coaching skills as well as support women in coaching.
