Junior Development Program
Fun, fitness, and skill development for athletes aged 12–16 with some prior rowing experience. A launchpad to competitive programs or a place to keep loving the sport.
Build the skills, then race them
The Junior Development program builds the fundamental skills athletes need to row comfortably in different conditions and crew combinations. The fall session runs 5 weeks, three days a week, for athletes coming off 2 weeks of summer camp. JDP is a launchpad for athletes who want to step up to the club competitive program - and a great home for athletes who love rowing but also play other sports.
Starts September 15 - three sessions a week to keep building on the summer.
A clear pathway for athletes ready for higher-volume training and the racing circuit.
Managed through the club, with hired coaches leading every session.
