  Project Manager

  Paddle Victoria was successful in applying for the Vichealth Innovation Challenge that is supporting the develeopment and implementation of a new game targeting teenagers called Kayak Paddleball. It is an entry level but super fun game that not only increases the activity for the participants but also supports the water confidences and reinforces the safety messages. It is super flexible, designed to be inclusive and those that play it just love it.
