Aimed at both boys and girls aged 11 – 16.
Rowing is a fantastic sport for young people.
It teaches them many skills that they will carry into adult life such as commitment, teamwork, time-management and many others but most importantly it is lots of fun!
Henley Rowing Club coaches are DBS checked and certified first aiders. Our goal is to ensure participants have a fun and safe introduction to the exciting sport of rowing.
Format of the Course
- 3 terms of structured tuition from professional coaching staff with an emphasis on having fun and building team-working skills while developing confidence around the water.
- The course has 2 sessions a week, one on a Tuesday or Thursday (dependant on preference and availability) from 4:30 – 6:00 pm and one on a Sunday from 1:00 – 2:30 or 2:30 to 4:00 pm (again dependant on preference and availability).
Term 1 – 6 weeks – Introduction to rowing – This term is about developing the basic movement and understanding of the sport. Like all new skills, it takes time and practice. Rowing machines will be used and larger crew boats.
Term 2 – 6 weeks – After the Easter break we will be continuing to develop skills in crew boats and gradually moving into smaller boats
Term 3 – 4 weeks – This term is about growing in confidence in smaller boats while having fun
