Looking for a new sport to try this spring? Come row with us! Our Spring Middle School Development Team is the perfect way for 7th and 8th graders to give rowing a try - no experience needed. Athletes will build strength, confidence, and teamwork while learning the basics of rowing. 

Practices take place at Thompson Boat Center in Georgetown and focus on fitness, stretching, building strength on indoor rowing machines, and athletic development, as well as the best part: rowing in boats on the water! No prior rowing experience required - just a willingness to learn and have fun! 

Practice Schedule:

• Tuesdays & Thursdays (Erg Practice): 5:30–7:00 PM | March 1–March 19

• Tuesdays & Thursdays (Water Practice): 5:30–7:30 PM | March 25–May 10

• Saturdays & Sundays (Water Practice): 10:30 AM–12:30 PM

Weekday practices will stay on land until sunset times are safe for rowing on the water. Come try something new, make friends, and get on the river this spring!
