On 19–20 August 2025, the Liepāja Sports Administration, in cooperation with the Association “SUP skola Liepāja”, organized a traineeship for rowing coaches within the project Rowing4Confidence (LL-00032).
The two-day traineeship gathered coaches from Daugavpils and Panevėžys, who had the opportunity to acquire essential SUP rowing techniques and explore methods of adapting them for children and young people with special needs. The programme emphasized the use of games and collaborative approaches in designing motivating and confidence-building activities.
As part of the traineeship, coaches also observed an open lesson held within the project’s “Rowing afternoons” activity, which provided valuable practical insights into the application of new methods in real activity settings.
The traineeship was delivered by experienced trainers from the Association “SUP skola Liepāja”. Having themselves completed both theoretical and practical preparation within the project, the trainers praised the initiative, underlining its significant impact on the participation and progress of children and young people with special needs.
