Development Team

Learning to row.

New athletes make friends and build skills and strength, with a lighter schedule than the Racing Team.

FallDetails
DaysMonday, Thursday and Friday
Time4:15 to 6:15 PM

Can she only come one or two days a week? That’s fine. Email us and we’ll set up a schedule that works.

Racing Team

Head race season.

For experienced rowers and coxswains, and new athletes at the coaches’ discretion. The coaches place each athlete on the Varsity or Novice squad. Athletes train and race in both sweep and sculling boats. Not every athlete comes every day: coxswains and younger athletes have the flexibility to come fewer days.

DaysMonday to Friday, plus Saturday mornings
Time3:30 to 6:30 PM

Before her first practice

What she needs

  • Arrive 5 minutes before practice, after a full lunch and a healthy snack.
  • Running shoes for the land warm-up. Running and the rowing machine are part of every practice.
  • Close-fitting athletic clothes, so nothing catches in the equipment.
  • A water bottle, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, every practice.

Registration

She doesn’t have to wait for fall.

New athletes can start in any season. See what’s open now on the Registration page.
