Identifying, inspiring and supporting the female GB rowers of the future

The GB Rowing Team (GBRT) is hosting a Women’s Development Day at the National Water Sports Centre (NWSC), Nottingham on Saturday, 15 October 2022 for women who meet a certain height and age criteria. The day is open to as many women as possible who meet the criteria, however new they are to the sport. Even if you have only been rowing a few weeks we would like to meet you if you are ambitious and/or competitive.

Who is it for?

Any female rower over 176cm tall, aged 15-23, who aspires to row for Great Britain.
Any level of rowing experience from beginner upwards.
Coaches also welcome and encouraged to attend and support their rowers.

Why attend?

A unique opportunity to bring as many female rowers with GB potential together as possible, in one place to learn from current GB Rowing coaches, staff, and athletes, including Olympic Women’s Head Coach Andrew Randell.
Gain an understanding of what it means to row for GB and what’s required to progress in the sport.
Meet other female rowers with similar aspirations from across the country
