Coaching

At UYBC, we are a club of volunteers, and our coaching team is no different

Apart from our Head Coach Ciaran, all of our coaches give up their time voluntarily for the benefit of our athletes

Head Coach

CIARAN LONGMORE

Ciaran joined us as Head Coach of UYBC earlier this season, bringing with him a wealth of experience from coaching at a plethora of clubs in the North. With a fresh perspective and a commitment to energising the coaching scene at UYBC, we’re excited to see significant improvements across all aspects of the Club's performance.

ANDREW CAWOOD

Volunteer Coach

Andrew is our Senior Women’s coach that has been with the UYBC Senior Women for many years. Andrew also coaches with YCRC and brings in his years of technical advice to help the performance of the squad. He coaches both on the water sessions and weekly land sessions and we are incredibly lucky to have him.

Student Coach

OLIVER WOOD

Oliver Wood is one of our Senior Athletes that is also volunteering his time to help the Novice Men. Oliver joins the Novice Captains on the water to help the Novice Men to progress and develop as rowers so that they can join the senior squads themselves next season.

Student Coach

LENA COOPER

Lena Cooper is another one of our senior rowers that volunteers her time to help the Novice Women’s squad. Coaching the women both on and off the water, she has been contributing significantly to the quick development of this squad.
