How do I get involved?
Athletes and coaches wishing to be considered for Under 23 team selection must complete the Expression of Interest Form.
U23 athletes who submit an EOI will be ranked based on ergo times, these national rankings will then be sent to coaches within the Pathways Network. Athletes should only nominate if, based on the National Ergo Rankings and their on-water performances, they believe they can compete for a seat at the 2025 U23 Selection Trials.
THE EOI IS NOT THE U23 TEAM NOMINATION FORM. All athletes, including those on the 2024 Under 23 Rowing Team, are to submit an EOI.
