Riggers:
Rowing Australia also now offers an online Riggers coaching accreditation course.  This is an introduction to coaching indoor rowing using rowing ergometers. It is for anyone who wishes to deliver Rowing Australia’s Sporting Schools program called Riggers, including coaches, teachers and students over the age of 16 years.  The cost of the Riggers course is $70.  Please go here to register: https://www.revolutionise.com.au/rowingaus/events/40504/
