On Development team, athletes learn the basics of rowing 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.
Two sessions are available:
Level I: Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:30pm - 6:30pm
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.
