Rowing Victoria invites individuals to be screened utilizing the National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) test kit to assess your potential for high performance rowing.

The test kit is currently being utilized around Australia to identify individuals with ideal ‘rowing characteristics’. The tests do not require people to have any rowing background.

This testing opportunity provides a pathway for raw novices to be fast tracked into a high performance program if outstanding results are achieved. Rowing Victoria will contact candidates shortly following the testing session.

Testing is free and can be conducted at a time to suit. The tests used are a result of extensive scientific research and practice and have identified athletes who have trained to become World and Olympic Champions.

While there is much more to becoming a champion than having outstanding scores in the following areas, these tests do concentrate the development of expertise on those who have the most likelihood of achieving success.

Males must either weigh between 68 – 75kg or be over 190cm. Females must either weigh between 55 – 62kg or be over 180cm in height. Applicants close to these parameters may be considered.
