MORE INFORMATION

Our Novice Programme approach is based on the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) programme. The LTAD programme was developed in Canada in the late '90s and aims to: 

  • Improve health and fitness, 
  • Enhance physical performance
  • Reduce risk of injury
  • Develop confidence and competence of all youth


The Senior Programme is also based on the LTAD programme while focusing on building technical skills, core strength, and aerobic capacity. Through our philosophy we will:

  • Foster independent thinking through Q and A's and one to one sessions
  • Build resilience through having a commitment and consistency to training
  • Instill the importance of community involvement through being part of a rowing community and being part of a club with other schools


Both programmes are aimed at fostering a healthy and competitive sporting environment but also teaching students valuable life skills such as organisation, teamwork, and commitment! Our wonderful coaches have developed a strong competitive squad of rowers.  ​​​​​​​
