Junior Section
Stirling Rowing Club currently has its largest group of Juniors in recent history training at the club. We have two Scottish Champions in our midst at J14 and J15 age group, and the potential is there for anyone looking to progress their rowing or sculling, as we have a vast exerpience of senior members who have competed at the highest level. We purchased five new racing boats in 2007, primarily to assist coaching of this group of 35 Juniors, who attend club sessions of Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings. The club Juniors generally attend around six regattas each year - this allows them to mix with other competitors, forge friendships and travel around the country experiencing different stretches of water. The club has created a positive atmosphere for their juniors to come along and enjoy their training which, consists of rowing, sculling, coxing, running, using ergometers, core stability, circuit training and weight training. Rowing can provide a vigorous workout as it engages all the main muscle groups, sustained effort will benefit the heart and lungs and offer athletes an opportunity of longevity. They also have their own appointed Junior Captain and function well, socially as a group. The Beginning was coming together......, |
