BCU Star Award Assessments - 2010
Assessments measure your abilities at different levels of your development. Assessments
help students set goals, gain clear understanding of skill sets to either reinforce or
improve upon. Assessments also motivate practice, accelerate learning, and allow matching
paddlers with similar skills to courses. Body Boat Blade has one of the most skilled and
highest rated assessing teams in North America. We can assess the Star and Coaching Awards
listed below.
