In 9 months time the Youth and Junior teams will already have had their first practise day in New Zealand for the 2013 World Rafting Champs.
For those coming to support their teams and enjoy the hospitality of New Zealand its time to start making plans.
The teams that have already been selected through their National Selections should all be well into their training programs and planning processes.
Those teams who still need to win their National Selections to be able to enter – good luck and paddle hard!
