HAVE YOU JUST GRADUATED AND LOOKING TO TAKE YOUR ROWING TO A HIGHER LEVEL?
The open door policy at Leander Club means that it has never been easier for recent graduates and gap year students to further their rowing careers towards the highest level. The club is open to male and female athletes in open and lightweight categories - the only real qualification is the will to succeed. As part of its future development the Club plans a residential assessment and trial period later in the summer. For further information choose a leaflet to download for recent graduates or gap year students and then get in touch with our Chief Coach, Mark Banks. |
