Junior Squad (12-18 yrs)

What the squad is up to

The club maintains a Junior Squad of about 50 young people. Ages range from 12 to 18. We have an excellent coaching team and a growing band of helpers, mostly parents.

Entry into the Junior Squad is usually through our summer holiday learn-to-row courses - see the junior L2R page here - it has a form to register interst in 2018 courses. Those who complete a course can then join the squad and would normally be racing by the next spring, if not sooner.

If you have rowed before you may be able to join the sqaud without doing a course. This would depend on how many we had currently active and as at the end of 2017 we are pretty full. But if you wish to ask about joining now, get in touch with one of our coaches Jess Harris at J.Harris9@newcastle.ac.uk.
