Scottish Rowing is today opening applications for the 2022-23 Junior Academy programme, which aims to support talented junior rowers to reach their potential in the sport. We were delighted that last season saw a record number of Scots selected for GB U19 teams, seven of whom were part of the inaugural Academy programme.

The second edition of the Scottish Rowing Junior Academy will provide education, opportunity and community for athletes (targeted at J16-18 age groups), coaches and parents, creating pathways for more Scottish rowers to continue in the sport and achieve success nationally and internationally.

The Junior Academy programme has been developed by the Scottish Rowing performance team with input from the sportscotland institute of sport and the GB Rowing Team.  Academy athletes will benefit from a camp-based programme delivered between October and April focusing on physical preparation, crew boat skills and performance behaviours.

2022 has been a big year so far for St Andrew Boat Club. With the formal opening of their new boathouse on the canal at Meggetland back in January, the club was well set up for competing at Henley Royal Regatta. However, a junior boy’s quad in the Fawley and men’s eight in the Thames were not the only crews from the club rowing at the world-famous regatta this year.

On Friday 1^st July, a St Andrew Boat Club crew took part in a celebratory row past at Henley Royal Regatta to mark the 175^th Anniversary of the club (one year delayed). The crew, containing representatives of junior, women’s and men’s squads past and present along with those who have made a significant contribution towards the boathouse project through volunteering or donations is listed below:

Aberdeen University Boat Club also marked a significant milestone with a row past on Saturday 2^nd July. Celebrations for their 150^th Anniversary in 2020 were subdued due to the pandemic but they made up for it in style rowing the Henley Course with a mixed crew of former members.
