LEARN TO ROW PROGRAM pRE This is an opportunity for area high school students to learn the sport of rowing. During the two-week session, rowers will learn safety procedures, rowing techniques on the ergometer, and will quickly progress to rowing on the water. Each session will be limited to 36 participants. 2008 will be our eighth summer of rowing instruction for youth on the Erie Canal. This beginner program is open to all kids in the Rochester Area entering grades 8 - 12 next fall who have never before rowed. Learn to Row is a safe, well-supervised place where kids can quickly experience the thrill of rowing. We are also offering an advanced Learn to Row option for any one who did the Learn To Row program in a prior year but didn't continue into the Novice High School program. They are eligible to take the Advanced Learn To Row option. Advanced programs will run in the afternoon of sessions two and three. An intramural program is also being offered to those rowers wishing to stay in shape between the Spring and Fall seasons. Multiple two-week sessions are scheduled in Summer and sponsored by Pittsford Crew. This is an experience of a lifetime, right here on the Erie Canal. For information and registration click here. Registration will be in the Spring for all of our Learn To Row and Intramural programs. Sign up early to better ensure availability of a place in your first choice of sessions. JUNIOR NATIONAL TEAM TESTING The US Junior National team is a great experience for racing, and broadening your rowing resume. It’s also the perfect opportunity for you to set and work towards your personal goals. Teams are selected based only on erg times and your coaches recommendation. |
