Tees Development Squad
Enjoy your first steps
as a Tees rower
The Tees RC Development Squad caters to rowers in their first couple of years of their rowing careers.
We welcome rowers from the Learn to Row courses as well as those who have rowed before and wish to return to the sport after some time off.
Our aim is to provide a safe and fun environment to build your confidence on water, improve your skills and most importantly to nurture your love of rowing!
Free Coached sessions
We offer coached sessions twice a week- typically Saturday and Sunday mornings.
These sessions incorporate coaching of rowing technique, safe handling of boats, safety on water and much more.
So, whether you’re rowing for fitness and friendship or wish to join in with the excitement of racing, our coaches will help you to achieve your goals!
Testimonials
My favourite things about Dev Squad have been the sense of camaraderie with other Learn to Rowers, witnessing our progress over the weeks, and meeting the coaches and rowers who join us from other squads.
Being part of the Dev squad hasn’t stopped us joining other squads or rowing with people we’ve met. It’s a chance to focus on technique in a less pressure environment.

The coaches of the development squad create a fun and relaxed environment for improving your rowing. I have never felt under pressure or scared of making a mistake. Banter is in full swing throughout the session and it’s been a great way to make new friends of all ages. I love how the club membership spans the generations and everyone is so encouraging of each other.

Perfect next step sessions which enabled myself and the other L2R’s to build confidence, work on technique, meet other new rowers/club members, ultimately to become more independent on the water! Great fun, supported by super knowledgeable and helpful experienced rowers.
