SLAVIA VK’s English Language Rowing Program

SLAVIA VK is offering a unique opportunity for

13 to 14 year old's (male and female if
numbers allow) to train and represent the
Club in regattas, culminating in the National
Championships.

We are committed to providing all

students with an opportunity to learn,
develop and excel in rowing.

We will enable students to develop

rowing skills and values shaped by the
sports demands; mental, physical, shared
goals and achievements.

The inaugural season will be commencing

Early April 2022, training towards Junior
Nationals in July and Club Nationals in
September.

The program is part of a life and sporting

education experience aiming to teach not
only the act of rowing but also the values
of others around them, determination,
resilience and perseverance.
