Similar to philosophies of Youth European Rowing Clubs, we believe in the importance of producing technically competent and technically intelligent rowers. Our youngest rowers are introduced to the sport of rowing in a fun, safe, enjoyable, and challenging environment. Our training sessions focus on technical repetitions mainly on smaller boats. Our club dedicates notable energy and resources to the Junior Race Team, and its participants are expected to display high level of sportsmanship towards fellow rowers both inside and outside of the club, whether in victory or in defeat. Rowers will be pushed to higher level of performance by focusing on endurance, strength training, proper technique, tactics, and race preparation.
