Nurturing inclusive rowing for all and supporting competitive aspirations.
ARE YOU NEW TO ROWING?
HRC’s Learn to Row courses are a great way to have fun, get fit and make new friends on a stunning stretch of the River Thames that is home to the Henley Royal Regatta.
We offer both ‘learn to row’ courses and private tuition aimed at juniors who have never rowed before and would like to give it a go. The courses are run by experienced oars people and cover many different aspects of rowing including gym work, rowing on the water, using rowing machines and learning how to handle boats and rowing equipment.
JUNIOR
GIRLS & BOYS 11-16 YRS
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
2 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.
In 2024, we will be running 2 groups of a maximum of 12 children. One will run on Tuesday from 16:30 - 18:00 and on Sunday from 13:30 - 15:00. The other will run on Thursday from 16:30 - 18:00 and Sunday from 15:00 - 16:30.
Term 1
3rd March - 18th April 2024, 6 Weeks, £275
(The week of 30/03 - 6/04 will not run hence why it runs over 7 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
28th April - 13th June 2024, 6 Weeks, £275
After the Easter break we will be continuing to develop skills in crew boats and gradually moving into smaller boats

SUMMER CAMPS
