Yarra Yarra Rowing Club Information

YYRC, established in 1871, has a proud tradition of being run solely by volunteers. We aim to develop members rowing abilities and uphold a strong position in the rowing community through competition. Versatility is our strength. Our program structure is capable of developing rowers to competition standard, has the ability to immediately integrate existing rowers new to the club and is able to train a complete beginner to bring them to a racing level. Our focus is to race throughout the year across most events and regattas within Victoria. We currently have a larger percentage of our members competing at Masters Level. Our focus is ultimately being successful at State Championships. Our rowing program is designed to support and enhance this focus by providing members with suitable boats, equipment and other resources necessary to achieve these results. We currently hold The Victorian Premierships for Masters and our wins at State Championships are testimony to the success of our program. Yarra Yarra Rowing Club provides a welcoming and friendly environment. We run diverse rowing programs which support a broad membership base and fosters a strong club spirit. Yarra Yarra is a strong, self-governing, not for profit organisation. Yarra Yarra provides open and fair access to all who wish to participate in the sport of rowing. Yarra Yarra programs provide development opportunities through the range of competitive and non-competitive participation. Through this Yarra Yarra promotes rowing, contributes to the sport and is an active participant in the rowing community. The flexibility of our rowing programs allows us to cater to the needs and ambitions of our membership and the changing needs of the rowing community.
