The
Coxswains
The Coxswains’ squad is UYBC’s smallest squad, with all members becoming part of other squads as well. This squad is open to anyone who wants to try coxing, whether to learn a new skill or to compete at a national level.
We have coxes of all experience levels in our squad, with some joining as Senior Coxes having coxed before, and some learning how to cox as one of our Novice Coxes. Once confident enough, every cox is allowed to join a racing squad, should they want to, but they can also choose to cox for YuRow, our recreational squad, if they would prefer a more relaxed environment.
This year, we had four of our novice coxes racing by the end of the year. Next year, we hope to increase this number, and ensure all our coxes have opportunities to develop their skills.
With a clear development plan for training senior, competitive and novice coxes for the years to come, we look forward to creating a foundation of strong coxes who can support the club this year, and also in the future.

"Discovering the role of the cox was a complete eye-opener for me. If you want to have the chance to challenge yourself; learn to become more decisive and develop the skills to manage and inspire a crew then coxing is for you."
