If you are looking for a fun way to get young people taking part in physical activity and trying out something new – The Scottish Rowing Junior Indoor League is for you!

Previously known as the Scottish Rowing Schools Indoor League, following growing interest from other organised youth groups we are pleased to open the league up to other groups as well as schools. This could be the juniors in your rowing club, other sports clubs, cadet groups, this list goes on! You just need to be an organised group with an appropriate adult leader who can be the liaison with Scottish Rowing, supervise the indoor rowing sessions, and to record and send the results back to us each round. 

The purpose of the league is to encourage participation in indoor rowing, monitoring improvements and progress through the four rounds in the league, and for juniors to experience the thrill of a live competition among peers in the fourth round – the fourth round is a live final which will take place at Fettes College, Edinburgh, on Friday 21st of November. *please note this is an updated date

Participation in all rounds is not essential – competitors may complete as much or as little of the league as they would like, although we would encourage participation in all rounds to get the most out of the experience. Competitors may also join the league at any point – if they miss a round, they can always take part in the next!

How it works:

Schools or clubs enter the league by completing the on line sign up form avaliable here.

Juinors race over a set time (dictated by their school year) and schools/club representitive submit a score for rounds 1, 2 and 3. This is done in their school or club facilities (we may be able to offer local club contacts if you require access to rowing machines out with your school/clubs facility).

Scores for each round are added to the national leader board.
