Juniors
Junior Coordinator - Jayne Black Club Welfare Officer - Helen Wrigley
We are very fortunate to have a number of very experienced volunteers coaches who give their time freely to develop our juniors.
​
Whilst most of our rowers will reach the standard to be competitive regionally, there is a pathway for rowers to represent the club at national events and we have had a good number of our rowers who have gone on to represent their country including Olympic Champion, Matthew Langridge.
Our Junior intake starts in the summer term of year 8, so if you are interested in joining us please contact our Junior Coordinator using the form below.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved there are a limited number of spaces available in each squad, so you may have to join a waiting list. Please be patient, we will be in touch when a place becomes available so that you can have a go at rowing.
We do expect a certain level of commitment from Juniors and their parents so that crews can develop at an appropriate skill level aligned to competition. The number of training sessions each week depends on age and experience; a beginner in the J15 squad (school Year 10) would not be expected to train more than three times a week, for example, whereas some of our older Juniors on the talent pathway for GB Rowing will train up to 12 sessions a week. J14s train once during the week with one weekend sessions on a Saturday morning; J15/J16 athletes will train twice a week and row on a Saturday morning ; J17 and J18 athletes may train up to five sessions a week, including both Saturday mornings.
Being part of our Junior squad is something very special and helps build confidence and self-esteem. It does require commitment and good organisation skills to successfully balance rowing, schoolwork and family time.
Please provide the following details should your child be interested in joining NRC Juniors. (Please refer to our Privacy Policy, available below, for details of how we will use your personal information.)
