MSR Program

Start Rowing with a Beginning Class

Beginning Middle School Rowing Classes are offered April through August each year. Classes are two weeks long, for six 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

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.

Beginning Classes run April through August

Team Sessions run March through November

We highly recommend your child take at least one Team Session within two months of completing a Beginning class. Rowers who wait more than 4 months may need to refresh their new skills by taking a Beginning class again before continuing on to Team Sessions. Email coach Holly if you are unsure which class would be the best fit for your rower.
