Rowing NZ 2025 Year Group Statement
Submission supporting Year Groups not NZSSRA Age Groups - updated December 13 2025
With the current controversies regarding Novice rowing and Age Group or Year Group rowing this presentation aims to develop a picture of what happens elsewhere.
With reference to international practise it also includes a possible Maadi Regatta programme including Age Groups and Year Groups. Ideas and comments would be appreciated. They will help to make a more useful presentation.
This is a Submission version of the presentatiuon on the left.
Remit proposing that Year Group classification replace Age Groups.
The remit was not passed. The opportunity to organise a more managable and fairer regatta, using a system with international precedent was foregone.
Comments supporting the remit.
This extract from the Rewired Discussion Document is relevant to the Year Group or Age Group debate.
