DEVELOPENT TEAM
April 12th - May 25th
PCRA’s Development team is a great starting point for any athlete interested learning how to row. Our development team is co-ed and is the first step towards joining either our boys or girls competitive novice racing program. On Development team, athletes learn the basics of rowing and fine tune their technical skills while gaining fitness. Sessions are open to athletes aged middle school (11) and up.
Our development team is split into two groups: level I and level II. Level I is for athletes newer to the sport who are still working on the basic skills. Level II is for athletes recommended by the coach who have previous rowing experience. Level II athletes will work towards making the Novice team.
Development Team athletes will have the opportunity to participate in PCRA’s Spring Fling which is our end of season inter squad scrimmage. It will be held at our Boathouse on Glen Island on Saturday May 20th.
Two sessions are available:
Level I: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30pm - 6:00pm
For beginners & those early in their rowing career.
Limited to 25 participants. First come, first serve; our admins and coaches cannot reserve or hold a spot for any reason. The only way to secure your spot is to register.
A waitlist will open if the program reaches capacity. Our admins highly recommend joining the waitlist.
Level II: Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30pm - 6:00pm
