UTS Schools Winter Program

Due to the current circumstances around COVID-19 and government policies the School Winter Program has been delayed till July. Please fill out the Expression of Interest form below to register.

The UTS Schools Winter Program  helps aspiring junior rowers develop their skills and aims to compliment their school rowing programs. Over the years, the UTS Rowing Club  has forged strong relationships with many schools in the Sydney area. We regularly visit these schools to talk to students about the tertiary education and rowing opportunities available after school, including UTS' Elite Athlete Program. 

By design, our program creates a clear pathway for junior athletes into the club system and elite-level rowing.

High-performing school rowers are invited to try out for our program. You will have the opportunity to work with Head Coach and 7 time Olympic Medalist, Tim McLaren. Other coaches include Australian team coaches and winning GPS HOR 1st and 2nd 8+ coaches.
