Junior/School Rowing

The program is conducted out of school hours and caters for students from all schools in the Bendigo region.

New rowers will need to undertake the “Learn to Row” program before committing to the program.

The program involves rowing sessions before and after school at at times, up to 3 times a week as well as participation in weekend regattas throughout the season from October to March.

There will be a lot of pressure on rowers to make a commitment to the members of their crew and coach in terms of attendance. No crew can row if only 3 out of 4 turn up. It follows that all rowers must have the total support of their parents/guardians for training sessions and regattas.

The BRC Junior Rowing Handbook (see below) contains many of the FAQ related to the program.
