USA COR NATIONAL TEAM
As a member of the ICF’s global network of 172 national federations, the ACA facilitates opportunities for paddlers to compete in high-caliber ocean racing events across the world via the USA Canoe Ocean Racing (COR) National Team.
The ICF COR World Championships are currently open-entry, and the ACA does not require a performance-based selection process to represent the USA at any continental or international ocean racing championship or cup series competition. The only criteria is to be listed in the Members category for the current National Series season.
Interested National Federation members must contact the ACA Ocean Racing committee regarding their intention to participate in a particular continental/international competition, and then complete the necessary requirements.
Regarding requirements, there are a number of administrative items participating athletes must complete prior to the competition. The ACA Ocean Racing Committee publishes a downloadable information packet describing the participation requirements and guidelines for every championship event. The ORC recommends working through these steps as early as possible to avoid last-minute administrative headaches. In addition please be sure to review the following official ICF competition bulletins, when they become available.
The ACA Ocean Racing Committee reserves the right to review and discuss a candidate’s qualifications prior to composing the ICF-required Attestation of Competency letter. Ocean racing athletes may be able to accelerate the ORC's review process by completing at least one National Series benchmark race, however participating in these races is not technically required.
