Sheffield University Canoe Club (SUCC) is an active sports club with over 50 members based our of the University of Sheffield's Goodwin Sport centre.

We aim to the an inclusive and accessible club for students whether they be complete beginners or seasoned paddlers. We do this through providing sessions and trips to cater to all abilities. See the calendar for a sneak peak of what's coming up. 

Being a student club pride ourselves on having an active social side with Foundry's Roar, Tuesday pubs and sober socials in there too. 

Weekly training 

Flatwater learning and training occur several time a week (see the Facebook's weekly posts for what on this week). Sessions include but mught not be limited to;

• General sessions for learning new skills and improving technique through games and a little coaching,

• Polo for applying paddling skills into a team sport scenario and developing teamwork for BUCCs and other competitions

• Fitness and Technique for dialling in those new strokes and getting yoked. 

White water 

There are plenty of opportunities throughout the year to take part in white water trips (check out our calendar). We run 3 trips at the start of the year, all beginner friendly as well as more advanced inters trips for those looking to develop their skills. Check out our homepage for some awesome videos! As the year progresses trips get harder as paddling skill develops headed up to Scotland in Easter and hopefully abroad at the end of year. 

Polo 

Possibly the best game ever invented, however not many people have heard of it. We have amazing polo secretaries that will teach you something new whatever your level. There is normally fortnightly training for this split between advanced and beginner sessions along with plenty of competitions. Then we head to BUCCs polo in Nottingham to compete against other Unis (Our women's team won in 2024 woop woop)

Socials 

We aim to have a club social every two weeks, these are a great way to get to know the club in a non-kayaking setting and have fun. Our socials range from three-legged pub crawls to sober board games so there is always something for everyone. 

Just in case that wasn't enough socialising for you we also have just a casual pub trip every Tuesday evening and Thursday after the pool session. Grindstone is our local! 

Other;

• Slalom we go to BUCS slalom every year and have a great time, even if you have never been on white water before.

• BUCCs Sprint if people are keep we send a small team down to BUCCs sprint
