What Our Community Says

“Since joining Paddle360, Lil Dragons has been transformed both as athletes and as a team. Their hands-on coaching and unwavering belief in our athletes have built confidence, discipline, and a true culture of excellence. In just one season, Paddle360 helped guide our team to qualify for the Outrigger Sprint World Championships in Singapore and positioned the majority of our athletes on the pathway toward the Canadian National Dragon Boat Team for 2027. Paddle360 isn’t just developing stronger paddlers, they are helping shape confident, driven young people.”

“The Paddle360 company is led by Coach Scully, a passionate coach who provides the technical feedback paddlers need to understand the mechanics of optimizing their technique for strength and speed. He delivers comprehensive programming and season planning, incorporating strength training, Perg training, small boat work in OC1 and OC6, and Dragon Boat workouts to build the physical stamina and mental focus required for crew success. He is also masterful at working with teams to develop balance, synchronicity, timing, and blend, helping each crew perform at their highest level and achieve their season’s goals.”

“Coach Scully’s training is structured, fair, and tailored to bring out the best in every athlete. When he joined, we were a recreational team. In just one year, his disciplined approach helped us succeed at the Canadian Nationals and qualify for the 2026 Club Crew World Championships in Taiwan. He respects our age and ability while feeding our desire to compete at an elite international level. His leadership has transformed our team’s mindset, performance, and belief in what we can achieve.”

“We are deeply grateful to Coach Scully, who stepped in and transformed our Senior B Masters Women’s dragon boat team, building confidence, strength, and discipline. His in-depth knowledge of paddle sports, combined with structured training, clear team benchmarks, and positive leadership, led us to outstanding results at the 2025 Canadian National Championships and qualification for the 2026 Club Crew World Championships in Taiwan. Coach Scully is an inspiring leader who has created a culture of accountability and excellence, keeping our team focused, motivated, and performing at an elite level.”

“Will Rainey has been an invaluable addition to the Paddle360 team and leads our Outrigger programming with exceptional leadership, focus, and knowledge well beyond his years. He brings out the best in every athlete, helping us grow stronger both individually and as a crew. Will has also played a key role in breaking down the divide between Dragon Boat and Outrigger, creating new opportunities for athletes across disciplines. His leadership has helped members of our Masters team qualify for the 2026 Outrigger Sprint World Championships in Singapore. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication, positivity, and belief in our potential.”

“We are a competitive, world championship dragon boat racing team. We have been training under Coach Scully’s guidance for the last two years, where he has served as the team’s dryland and erg sessions coach. His focused training approach greatly improved our strength, while refining our stroke technique. He pays close attention to detail, ensuring that posture, timing, and power application are always on point. His constructive feedback is clear, practical, and immediately impactful. On top of that, his sense of humour makes every session both productive and genuinely enjoyable for the team.”

“Training under Tori at Paddle360 has been transformative for my strength, stability, and overall durability as an athlete. She places a strong emphasis on core development, balance, and proper movement mechanics, which has helped me build a more stable and resilient foundation. Her approach has not only improved my performance but has also played a major role in injury prevention and maintenance, allowing me to train consistently and with confidence. Tori has a unique ability to identify weaknesses and correct them with targeted, effective programming. Because of her coaching, I feel stronger, more stable, and better equipped to perform at a high level without breaking down.”

“FCRCC's Vancouver Va'a are almost 2 mos into a 10 mos. Coaching contract with P360's Will Rainey. We are extraordinarily satisfied to date with the OC6 and the small canoe coaching we are experiencing from Will's 2x/week coached sessions. Highly recommended!”
