YOUTH ROWING

Enjoy a FREE coached, indoor session learning the basics of rowing from our warm boathouse with a view of the river. Registration preferred; drop-ins welcome. Saturday, December 2 - Saturday, March 2.

This program is for youth in grades 7 and 8 who are either a beginner with no experience, or for those who have rowed before. The focus of this program will be on learning and strengthening the understanding of fundamental rowing concepts, developing basic bodyweight strength and a healthy cardiovascular system, and of course, having fun!

Participants who complete this session may then try their hand at the competitive side of the sport with our High School Competitive racing team in subsequent seasons. Practice occurs at the same time as Varsity rowing - bring your friends! Save $100 off second registration (for another youth or adult Learn to Row, for example). Discount is taken at checkout.
