On occasion of Independence day celebrations on August 15^th, Yelahanka United Environment Assocation® - YUVA along with Karnataka Amateur Rowing Association (KARA) which is affiliate of Rowing Federation of India (RFI) is organizing the ROWING Sport Interlake competition for the first time in Karnataka at the splendid rejuvenated 44 acres Allalasandra lake in Yelahanka New Town from 3pm to 6pm.

 

KARA and RFI has have been popularizing the game nationwide and producing distinct players from the country and state. Karnataka sportsmen have been doing very well at National and International championships.  

 

As many as over 10 children from schools located in Yelahanka area have won medals in various National Rowing Championships and train at Ulsoor Lake Bengaluru.

To popularize the sport of rowing, apart from better recognition easier access to venues, equipment and training are needed. The championship being held at Allalasandra lake in Yelahanka is an endeavor towards that. Many young boys and girls travel all the way from North Bengaluru to Ulsoor Lake which is over 35 kms away for practicing early in the morning. This kind of rowing events in Bangalore lakes would help in creating awareness, interacting with the Coaches and encourage more people taking up the sport

 

The following Competition between Allalasandra and Ulsoor teams would be held at Allalasandra Lake on Saturday, 15th August 2015 from 3pm to 6pm.
