Intensive Trainings
PRF recognizes the time and energy it takes to travel and train as a para rower. Physical and mental barriers to entry and a lack of opportunity are common problems for para athletes globally.
Some challenges include:
Are there ramps or an elevator to get to my room?
Are there bathrooms that are accessible to me?
Will coaches understand my physical needs?
Can I afford this?
PRF addresses these issues and more so you can fully concentrate on your training. All elite and future-elite para rowers are welcome to apply.
Below is the experience of one of the rowers who attended PRF's 2025 Intensive Training: Eelcko Henstra, a national team rower prior to an unexpected injury in 2016. He is now a PR1 para rower and finding his way back to the sport he loved using his body’s capabilities in a different way.
Application is necessary to participate.
