JUNIORS
Walbrook's Junior section offers a unique opportunity for young rowers to start their journey from ages 12-13 during the summer before Year 7.
We encourage budding rowers to join our Summer Taster course, which leads to year-round training and racing at Walbrook. Our program combines water and land training, including fitness and gym sessions, all under the expert guidance of Head Coach Robin Barwick and his team.
Our coaching team, frequently lead our juniors to medal at local and national events. Walbrook also hosts an annual residential training camp, with the 2024 & 2025 camps held at Wimbleball which was a great success.
