Roll Clinic

This concentrated clinic will get you working toward that bomber combat roll you want to show off on the river. Whether you’ve taken an intro course and now want an introduction to rolling, or you’ve been trying to nail your roll and need a bit of fine tuning, this course is definitely for you.

A low student to instructor ratio ensures that whatever your skill level, you will get personalized attention in this clinic. You will also benefit from receiving different instruction styles that may clear up a confusing aspect of the rolling process.

We strongly encourage practicing your roll at open sessions offered throughout the year. Open sessions are included in your yearly membership fee - the more you attend, the better value of your membership fee!
