Our Programmes
Designed to increase participation, identify talent and build the technical capacity required for sustainable growth of the sport — encompassing young athletes, schools, coaches, clubs, Beach Sprint Rowing and Para Rowing.
In Partnership with The North Green School
Uganda Rowing is working with The North Green School to introduce young people to rowing and identify athletes with the potential to progress within the sport.
Through indoor rowing, physical testing and structured talent identification, young people are given an opportunity to experience rowing while Uganda Rowing identifies promising athletes for continued development.
The partnership forms part of a wider strategy to establish sustainable youth pathways and expand rowing through schools.
Four Pillars of Development
Athlete Development
From Entry Level to the Olympic Stage
Uganda Rowing supports athletes through progressive development from introductory and club-level rowing to national team selection and international competition. The objective is to create a clear pathway through which talented and committed athletes can progressively develop towards regional, continental, World Championship and Olympic competition.
Coach Development
Building Technical Capacity
Developing knowledgeable and capable coaches is essential to the sustainable growth of rowing. Uganda Rowing invests in coach education and continued technical development to strengthen the quality of coaching available to athletes across the country.
Beach Sprint Rowing
Fast, Dynamic, Fast-Growing
Beach Sprint Rowing combines running and high-speed coastal rowing in a fast and dynamic competition format. Uganda Rowing is actively developing the discipline through athlete preparation, local competition and participation at regional, African and Commonwealth level. Beach Sprint Rowing also provides an important pathway towards the Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026 and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Para Rowing
Building an Inclusive Pathway
Uganda Rowing is committed to increasing opportunities for athletes with disabilities to participate in rowing. Through Para Rowing and Indoor Rowing development, we aim to build an inclusive pathway that provides opportunities for participation, athlete development and future international competition.
