Oarsport Junior Sculling Head

In support of junior rowing in the U.K. Oarsport are pleased to announce our third year of a four year major sponsorship of the National Junior Sculling Head (now known as The Oarsport Junior Sculling Head) up to and including 2012. This rapidly growing event shows the strength and breadth of junior rowing developing across the country just when the nation needs you to carry forward the momentum of recent outstanding successes and on to the next Olympics and beyond.

Today's juniors are our future World and Olympic Champions, as well as club captains and coaches and it is important to encourage them to prosper in the sport, particularly with the government strategy on leading a healthier lifestyle. From experience, we know that our sport will lead to fitter, healthier, more disciplined individuals learning important life skills along the way and we support this wholeheartedly.

Mark Hunter M.B.E. and 2008 Olympic Gold medallist in LWT 2x has agreed to drop by on the Oarsport stand to offer inspiration to competitors and sign copies of the Oarsport DVD "Golden Glory" featuring Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase. The DVD is now at a new lower price.

We wish all competitors and coaches in the event the best of luck and thank all the "behind the scenes" parents, helpers and mentors for their support and encouragement too.
