Leila heard about rowing in 2012 after her school advertised an LYR learn-to-row course. This lead to her getting involved in London Youth Games and eventually joining Mossbourne Academy Rowing Club. She has since been offered a rowing scholarship to study at the University of California, LA.

Meet, Sam Nunn

After completing a learn-to-row course when he was 15yrs old, Sam signed up to row competitively with our programme at Mossbourne Academy.
