Victorian Pathways Program - Pathway Eights

Reminder that registration for the Victorian Pathway 8 teams are now open. 

The Victorian Pathway Program aims to provide talented Victorian Rowers, Coxswains and Coaches an opportunity to work with the best. The program is designed to provide more rowers the opportunity to continue in the sport after school through to Club, State and National level.

This is a perfect opportunity for individuals who are looking to continue beyond school and club rowing and aspire to represent Victoria at Australian Selection trials and seek possible Australian Junior Team selection.

What’s On at SIRR in 2020

There’s plenty of off-water activities happening at SIRR this year.

This year we will be combining the Lunchtime Learnings and School Welcome BBQ with a special event; The Drive Extended … Live.

At the this event hear from Rowing Australia staff and coaches who have an episode in the Drive Extended series, as well as some of our senior National Training Centre athletes.

This will be a great opportunity for all kids, coaches and parents involved with rowing to hear first-hand how they can excel in their rowing career – and maybe one day become a Rowing Australia NTC athlete as well! This will also be a great opportunity to ask those from the Drive Extended videos all of your buring questions!

This special event will start at 5:30pm, as part of this event there will also be a FREE pasta night!

There will be giveaways from 776BC as well as everyone who comes to the event will recieve a FREE USB and stretching booklet!
