Sean Chan Chairperson, Organizing Committee commented ‘It was an interactive course with discussion and exchange of views between Jereon and the participants. The course objectives were met. It was noted that the practices on game tactics would require rather senior canoe polo players to conduct / demonstrate given the various skills required, and short duration of the course. For future courses an improvement would be that the course information to be published at least one month in advance so as to allow more time for institutions’ approval for their students to participate.’
