Attend A Practice!

Before you sign up for our Discover Rowing Program you are more than welcome to attend a practice with no obligation! Come on out and see firsthand what rowing is all about!

When Are Practices…

  • Mon-Thurs from 5:30-7p
  • Sat from 9-10:30a 

We practice from September to May each year. Practices are on the water in Sept/Oct and Apr/May and indoors from Dec-March.

Parents are more than welcome to attend as well. During our on-water seasons (Sept/Oct and April/May) you can ride along with one of the coaches. During our winter season (Dec-March), parents are welcome to observe while potential rowers are encouraged to jump in with the team.

We do ask that you pre-register to attend a practice. A coach will contact you to schedule a date.
