Fall 2020 Rowing Season:

MIDDLE SCHOOL Fall Rowing Program -

Typically our middle school Fall rowing season runs 4 days/week. Middle schoolers from 6th grade through 8th can participate.
This year, things may be different and in order to create the safest, most workable program for our rowers, we will need to be flexible with our plans. Below is our current schedule.
Practices will begin on Tuesday, 8 Sep, with the last event being on Saturday, 7 Nov (Head of the Chick).
Training will be 5:30pm - 7:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
Please be on time to pick up your rowers. We will not leave them alone, but we really appreciate you being on time so that our coaches can return home to their families.

COXSWAINS:

Coxswains will be in high demand. So feel free to show up for any session ready to cox!

Middle School Coxswains - if you are interested in coxing full time, showing up for each of the three Middle School practices ready to cox each practice.
We will teach you all you need to know.
