DEVELOPENT TEAM
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 racing programs. On Development Team, athletes learn the basics of rowing while gaining fitness. Sessions are open to athletes aged middle school (11) and up.
The Development Team is split into two groups. 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 Regatta, the end of season inter-squad scrimmage held at our Boathouse on Glen Island on a date in May to be confirmed.
DATES
April 8th - May 21st
Level I: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30pm - 6:00pm
Limited to 25 athletes
First 25 to sign up are guaranteed spots on the team. The only way to secure your spot is to register; coaches cannot reserve spots for any reason.
After the first 25 spots are filled there will be a wait-list enabled
Level II: Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30pm - 6:00pm
COACH APPROVAL REQUIRED. Please note that participation in level II is limited to those recommended by coaches. If you are unsure if your child qualifies for level II, please email us at admin@pcrarowing.com
