Fall 2020 Programs - Approved by County Officials
Youth Rowing
We believe that our youth rowing programs foster positive and cooperative relationships between kids from all walks of life and supports development of life-long leadership, personal accountability, and team-building skills. Rowing is the platform for personal growth, self-expression and the exploration of the body and mind in a supportive and team-oriented environment. We think that no other athletic endeavor for kids is as effective in combining these facets of personal growth so intimately or compellingly.

Private instruction is for you if you are looking to:

- Receive individualized coaching
- Switch up your usual rowing routing
- Improve your technique, fitness and results

By rowing together in a double (semi-private) or a quad (group), your coach will be able to focus on the dynamics of your boat as you work to not only improve your own technique but combine as a team to create an effective, dynamic stroke and boat speed.
