During winter a development program for promising junior rowers from NSW will be run at the Mosman Rowing Club. The Winter Development Program not only aims to identify talented athletes for the future, but is also aimed at helping athletes achieve their goals (ie. 1^st Eight etc.) when they return to their school, or clubs.

The program will aim to fit around winter sport commitments, and will include both sculling and sweep, focusing on technical improvements. There will also be opportunities for integrated training sessions with the current MRC squads.

We would like to encourage all rowers of an intermediate or better standard to apply, but please note the squad shall be limited to a maximum 12 athletes.

An initial information and selection day for the boys program will be run as per the following: -

When: -            9am, Saturday 15^th May

Where: -           Mosman Rowing Club (Upstairs in New Gym)

What: -             Brief meeting, followed by testing

-      Selection criteria will be based on Height, Weight, Arm span, Leg strength, arm strength and arm leg bike testing 

Bring: -             Training gear ( shoes and a zootie), and  a completed application form

(See below, forms must be completed prior to testing for insurance purposes)

For enquiries relating to the women’s program, please contact Nick Garratt (nickgarratt@mosmanrowing.com) for more information.

For both programs, previous membership at Mosman is not required, and where possible the program will look to select athletes with the ambitions and potential to row for NSW and Australia.
