Who are we?

Kc4u was founded by an international group of coaches determined to drive positive change in youth sports and sprint kayak education

Conceived, developed, and implemented by the coaches and athletes of Kajak Klub Zlatorog (SLO) and Circolo Nautico Oristano (ITA), Kayak Crews 4 Youth is an international collaborative project implemented as part of Erasmus+ Sport. Our dedicated team has a wealth of experience in nurturing talent and crafting programs for everyone from beginners taking their first strokes, to seasoned Olympians.
