Learning to Row with Yarra Yarra is a fantastic opportunity to get hands on rowing experience. You'll probably struggle at first but by the end of the weekend you'll be zipping along the Yarra river (with the odd wobble here and there), wondering why you waited so long to try.
The courses are conducted by current YYRC members who are passionate about rowing for Yarra Yarra and want to give you the best possible introduction to an exhilarating competitive sport. During the course you'll learn basic on-water and off-water rowing skills and be supplied with information on how you can continue your rowing experience with YYRC. Courses are held as demand requires.
Please direct enquiries to the Beginners Coordinator.
