Start Rowing with a Beginning Class
Beginning Middle School Rowing Classes are offered May through August each year. Classes are three weeks long, for nine practices, and introduce new rowers to the basics of the sport. After completion of a Beginning Class, rowers may move into Middle School Team Sessions, or may be advised to take the Beginning Class once more to increase their comfort in a rowing shell before joining Team Sessions. Please email any questions to coach Holly Hopkins aed@rivercityrowing.org
Starting in May 2021, MSR is transitioning back to using multi-person boats in addition to single person boats. When in multi-person boats, rowers are required to wear a mask. Through August 2021 families may, for personal safety considerations, choose to keep their athlete in a single, however there will be a limited number of singles-only spaces available. Athletes ready to row in multi-person boats will still have the opportunity to row in single person boats during some practices.
Stay Rowing with Team Sessions
Team Session of Middle School Rowing are three weeks long with one session held per month, March through October/November. Our focus in Team Sessions is to continually develop rowing skills, improve physical fitness, and strengthen team skills, while rowing with teammates in a fun and positive environment.
Rowers sign up for each session that is offered, or those that fit their schedule.
