More Info on Middle School Rowing

The middle school sculling program is open to any middle school student. We teach them how to do sculling with two oars and sweep rowing with one oar. Our focus is to teach children how to row and be a member of a team and have fun getting in good shape. We do not require the rowers to compete although we offer several opportunities to race each season. Our seasons follow the school year and new rowers can begin at any time. We practice twice per week for two hours. Practice days are Monday or Wednesday, the rower picks ONE of these days. The Monday and Wednesday groups come together for a whole team practice on Fridays. Our practice time is 4:15-6:15 pm. The cost is $55 per month. Rowers are encouraged to wear shorts that aren’t too baggy, t shirts, socks, running shoes, and bring a water bottle. On days with cool weather we also recommend dressing in layers that aren’t too baggy. We practice indoors at our facility when it is raining, very windy, or too cold to safely row on the water. We are always accepting new rowers and look forward to watching our team grow and row faster! Our program functions to provide a positive experience in rowing and preparation for our competitive high school program.
