It is not compulsory to continue rowing after the course, but if you chose to join then you are likely to join the Novice squad which trains at least one each weekend and once or twice during the week. To progress to competition level, you need to be as fit as possible. Weybridge has a growing snior section of all ages who race reguarly. Coached training sessions are avaialble every week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings during the winter and weekend mornings throghout the year.

These sessions are in wide stable boats and operate on a "turn up and row basis" with crew made-up on the day.

Parent -beginner course for juniors 2011
“I would like to thank you and the team there at Weybridge Rowing for a very good week of Junior coaching.
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed it and although not a sporty girl or one with much stamina I think she surprised herself at ....
1. Her ability to move in the right direction whilst on a boat
2. The enjoyment of exercise and fresh air so early in the morning
3. Her enthusiasm to continue to get up early even in half term - albeit rather grudgingly at the start of the week”
