Pittsford Crew is again pleased to offer the Rochester Indoor Rowing Academy (RIRA) this fall/winter!  This 9-week training session is designed to transition the athletes out of the fall, endurance rowing season and ready them for the spring, sprint rowing season.  The 5-days/week program will include a mix of technique work at the PIRC with training/conditioning at Brickyard CrossFit at the Jewish Community Center.  While at Brickyard CrossFit, the team will be focusing on agility, strength work and general conditioning.  RIRA is open to all Pittsford Crew rowers as well as coxswains.

• Please note that this program is designed for high school students. We will make every effort to provide younger athletes with age-appropriate options for strength and conditioning, but by signing up for this program, athletes and guardians acknowledge that additional modifications to the training plan may be needed, based on each individual athletes development and training needs.

Coxswain Program – RIRA will include a specific option for cox’s (at a reduced rate).  For cox’s that prefer not to participate in the full training program, the Coxswain Program will allow the participants to attend the PIRC sessions every day (working with both the boy and girl rowers) and will covering technique and skills to further develop out valuable cox’s.
