Junior.
Junior A and B (Under 19 and Under 17)
Junior Competitive Rowing at Leander is split into two age categories. Junior A is for any athlete who is 18 years of age or younger on December 31st of this year. Junior B is for any athlete who is 16 years of age or younger on December 31st of this year.
The junior program is structured around learning to train effectively, develop solid fundamental technical skills, learn the discipline of competitive rowing and ultimately learn to start winning races. Our ultimate goal is to develop crews to win Royal Canadian Henley, teach athletes to meet the RowOntario club elite standard and to propel our athletes towards competitive University rowing and the Canadian National Team.
The junior program primarily races in Southern Ontario within the Central Ontario Rowing Association circuit, as well as at the provincial championships and Henley. There are opportunities for crews to venture further for racing opportunities based on performance with target regattas including U.S. Elite Nationals, Independence Day Regatta (Philadelphia), Royal Henley (London, England), National Rowing Championships and more.

Through training and developing together, senior rowers will be pushed to meet RowOntario Club Elite standards, earn spots on Canadian University teams and reach the Canadian National Team.
