School Rowing

Your school can take part in rowing with London Youth Rowing

School rowing sessions are offered as part of our Active Row school programme at a number of 'hubs' across London. London Youth Rowing also provides on-water rowing opportunities for any secondary school wishing to take part in rowing for PE, Games or after school activity.

Session details:

An average session lasts around 90 minutes, but can be tailored to suit schools needs
Equipment is set up for complete beginners, who wear buoyancy aids throughout the session
Participants are encouraged to learn about handling equipment, rowing terminology and how to row both individually and in crews
You will be invoiced based on group size, length and regularity of sessions

London Youth Rowing coaches are Level 2 Rowing Coaching qualified, and are all certified first aiders. The aim of all school sessions is to provide a fun and interactive induction to rowing, encouraging participants to enjoy getting active.

There are also plenty of opportunities for development, by Joining a Boat Club outside of school rowing sessions.
