Junior rowing in Eindhoven

Rowing is the perfect mix of sport, team spirit and fun in the open air. Together you work on strength and technique on the water, but there is also plenty of room for fun outside the training sessions. From challenging races to unforgettable camps and fun moments after rowing - you not only get fitter, but also make friends for life. Experience the energy of the water, the wind in your face and the rhythm of the boat. Fancy trying it yourself? Come along and discover how much fun rowing is!

Rowing outdoor

Throughout the year, we row outside on the water! This can be done in single boats or with a crew. Enjoy the sun on the water and the beautiful winter mornings.

Competitions and activities

An important part of rowing is the group feeling, we go to races together and during the year there are several activities organised by the youth board.

Strength and agility

During winter time, weekday evening workouts are replaced by indoor workouts where you work on your strength and agility.

RoeiMee! days

During the RoeiMee! weekends, rowing clubs across the country open their doors to introduce young people to rowing! A short race on the ergometer, your first strokes in a boat, or simply getting a taste of the atmosphere: anything is possible! Like many other rowing clubs in the Netherlands, we’re also taking part in RoeiMee! on Saturday 12 September .

On these days, we’ll be opening our doors and you can step into a rowing boat. On Saturday, this is possible between 13:00 and 15:00. Registering for the RoeiMee! days isn’t necessary, but it’s appreciated. You can do this by sending us a message via Dit e-mailadres wordt beveiligd tegen spambots.

We’re looking forward to making it a great weekend! See you on 12 September!

Training groups

Learning to row

Are you just starting to row? Then you will join this group. In this group, you will learn to make your first strokes, how to steer and get your first diplomas. You will be guided by experienced junior rowers and junior coaches. You will train once or twice a week in different types of boats.

Learning to traing

If you have learned to row and steer, you can move on to the ‘learning to train’ group. In this group, you will still focus on technique to learn to row better, but you will also do some hard rowing more often and also have strength training sessions during winter time.

Learning to race

If you have ambition to compete at national level, you can train more often in consultation with your coach and join the ‘learning to race’ group. You will then train about six times a week, so you must really like rowing and have perseverance!

Activities & fun

Besides the weekly training sessions, ERV Beatrix is also all about fun! Our junior board organises fun activities throughout the year, from "Sinterklaas"celebrations and movie nights to a summer camp full of adventure. Whether you train fanatically or just for fun, there is always something going on in our club!

“I started rowing because my father read in the newspaper that there was an open day. He asked me if I would like to try rowing, and I said yes. So we went to the open day, and after that I took some trial lessons and never stopped..

I like the training sessions and the compettions best. I like the training sessions because you always learn something new, and in a fun way. We also often have fun activities, such as having dinner with a large group of people in our canteen. One of the parents comes to cook dinner for us, and then we all eat together. Usually we play some games afterwards, and then we go home.”

"I started rowing in 2021 at the age of 11 and already have quite a bit of experience with major competitions. My first ever competition was the Jeugdhead. This is a national competition covering approximately two and a half kilometers on the Amstel River in Amsterdam. In this competition, I was the coxswain in a four-person boat, together with other rowers from Beatrix. We didn't win the race, but it was still a very enjoyable experience. Often, everything surrounding the race is the most fun. Spending a whole day with friends you've made at the club is a lot of fun. It's even more fun when you win the race. Three years later, we did win that same race. This was my first win at the national level. A few months later, with a partially different team, I won the DIYR, an international competition for young people at the Bosbaan in Amstelveen. We trained hard for a whole year for this victory.

We train on technique, strength, and fitness to become better rowers, and it's most enjoyable when we win too. Not just for us, but also for the coaches who guide us."

"I started rowing when I was 12, through my brother. I found it quite daunting at first, but after the fifth training session, I already really enjoyed it. Now I feel completely at home here at Beatrix. I look forward to the training every time. At Beatrix, we also participate in regional and national competitions. I have rowed in ten competitions so far. Five were regional competitions and the other five were national competitions in places like Amsterdam. I mainly row in a two-person boat and a four-person boat. The competitions are always great fun and very enjoyable. I love the feeling of being exhausted after a race when you've given it your all, and when you win, it's even better. In addition to rowing, I have also coxed boats in competitions several times. I received special training for this in addition to my normal training sessions, and I now really enjoy coxing in competitions and training sessions."
