Summary
Our very active junior section needs enthusiastic rowers / ex rowers to give our young rowers guidance on their technique.Detailed description
This is an excellent opportunity to 'put something back' into the sport. Our junior rowing section is one of the largest in the city with about 100 juniors of all ages from Yrs 8 to 13. We are looking for volunteer coaches who can support our existing coaching team. Helping at just one session per weekend would be of great help. We have a particular need to cover sessions between 2:15 to 4:15 on Saturday afternoons, and on Sundays between 12pm and 2pm and another Sunday session between 2pm and 4pm.
Our juniors are at all levels. So whatever coaching experience you have (including none!) we are confident we can match you with rowers who you can help right from your first session.
It is incredibly rewarding to see the difference a coach can make!
About Cantabrigian Rowing Club
The club is affiliated to British Rowing, the umbrella body which administers the sport in the UK. The club aims to promote rowing across the entire range of age and ability, and to provide the coaching and equipment to take rowing to a competitive level. In particular, the club offers an opportunity for all club members to participate in the annual CRA Bumping Races in late July, an event unique to Cambridge.
We have strong connections with local schools, providing rowing classes as part of the syllabus and offer pupils the opportunity to row outside of school hours. In 2001, Cantabs became a Project Oarsome club, cementing its links with local schools and gaining a substantial award of junior training equipment from British Rowing.
