Middle School Introductory Rowing

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

Athletes will be run through an extensive technical introduction to the sport first using indoor rowing machines and tanks, and then quickly moving onto the water. As skill develops, workouts will take on a progressively more intensive physical component but will always emphasize general endurance and basic sprinting speed. Long-term focus will lay upon providing the physical and technical foundation required to successfully and confidently pursue competitive rowing at the high school level.
