Youth Rowing
Our youth rowing program blends urban and suburban participants who practice and race together, giving both groups the opportunity to learn from one another in our own version of a magnet school for rowers.
Past rowers have earned rowing scholarships to college, participated on US Junior National Development Teams, and earned invitations to the prestigious USRowing Youth Nationals. Current program offerings are listed below.
Summer Clinics
June 28 – July 1, July 26 – 29
Want your child to try a new sport? This is an excellent way to see if rowing is the sport for them and prepare them for tryouts this fall. If your child is already rowing our intermediate clinics will improve their technique for next season.
Summer Rowing
June 7 - June 24, August 2 - 19
Summer youth rowing is open to any interested rower between the ages of 12 and 17, regardless of prior experience level. Both rowers and coxswains are welcome to come learn, or to improve their technique.
Beginner Sculling
Dates: June 7 - July 2, July 5 - 30, August 2 - 27
This class is for brand new scullers (two oars per person), who may be entirely new to the sport of rowing or trying something new after prior sweep rowing experience. Beginning scullers will start in the wider Alden hulls, and progress to the narrower Peinert, Hudson, and Swift “racing” hulls.
Wednesdays & Fridays, 6 - 7:30 am, Mondays & Wednesdays, 8:30 - 10 am, Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3 - 4:30 pm
Intermediate/Advanced Sculling
Dates: June 7 - July 2, July 5 - 30, August 2 - 27
intended for experienced scullers of all ages (12+). We offer separate registration for Intermediate and Advanced scullers, and will do our best within each time block to create optimal 5 person groups for each coach. As experienced scullers everyone will be expected to be able to row in a Peinert/Hudson/Swift hull, and should be able to carry, set up, launch, and land their boat without coach intervention.
Wednesdays & Fridays, 6 - 7:30 am, Mondays & Wednesdays, 8:30 - 10 am, Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3 - 4:30 pm
