### Junior

[edit]

There are a number of junior categories (J12, J13, J14, J15, J16, J17 and J18). The number represents the age competitors must be less than before the first day of September preceding the event.

### Masters

A rower is eligible to compete at masters level from the year in which they turn 27 years old. Once a rower turns 27 they can race in the category Masters A, the categories change as the crew age increases (Mas B - 36; Mas C - 43; Mas D - 50; Mas E - 55; Mas F - 60; Mas G - 65; Mas H - 70; Mas I - 75; Mas J - 80+).

## Performance Programme

[edit]

Scottish Rowing, funded by sportscotland, invests into a number of university-based rowing programmes with a view to supporting the development of talented Under 23 rowers.

The universities on this programme have made a commitment to work in partnership with Scottish Rowing to establish a high performance programme led by a full-time professional rowing coach and supported by first class support services.

Admission to the rowing programme at these universities is based on merit and entry is not exclusively restricted to students. A significant focus of the rowing programme is on talent identification and development working closely with the GB Rowing Team Start programme.

Currently Scottish Rowing invests in the following university rowing programmes:

* University of Aberdeen / Robert Gordon University
* University of Edinburgh
* University of Glasgow
