To join as a Junior, school years 7 – 13
We run junior ‘taster’ and ‘follow up’ sculling sessions for those in year 7 or above on Friday afternoons in term time and Sunday mornings between Easter and the Autumn. We also organise short courses (usually 3 consecutive mornings) for beginners at various times during the Spring & Summer.
Provisional dates for 2025:
Friday afternoons (from 4pm) – from 7th March
Easter Learn to Row course – April 9th – 12th (3 of these days, tbc which ones and times)
Sunday mornings (from 10am) – from 27th April
Everyone learns at their own speed but all juniors start sculling in individual stable beginner boats before progressing onto fine (racing) boats. Juniors can then move into crew boats which is great fun and a good way of making new friends.
We use ‘Spond’ (an app you can put on your phone) to book sessions. If you add your name to the waiting list (see below) you will be added to the ‘Avon County Rowing Club Junior Taster sessions’ group. When Taster sessions have been organised, you will be invited to them via the app and will be able to book a place.
To join as a junior, please complete the junior waiting list form Click here and you will be invited to a taster session as soon as we have availability.
