We are happy to announce that Christian Brothers Academy Crew will be offering a Learn to Row program and is open to all local athletes. It will be two weeks in length and tailored specifically to middle/high school athletes with little to no rowing experience! We understand that most athletes have not had exposure to rowing, and our goal is to introduce all rising 7th -10th graders to the sport.
Athletes will train with our championship coaches and will be introduced to all aspects of rowing – from indoors (erg technique, video review land training, state of the art indoor tank facility) to on the water (carrying boats, launching, landing and water technique).
Two (2) separate week long sessions will be offered
● Week 1: August 12th to August 16th
● Week 2: August 19th to August 23rd
We highly recommend that athletes from Week 1 continue into Week 2, to further hone their skills and deepen their understanding of the sport. However, if your schedule doesn’t allow for this, you will still be able to gain an effective and enjoyable learn-to-row experience.
** We will likely run the first two days of each five day session at CBA, then the remaining three days on the water at SSYC. We will send out a firm schedule as the start date approaches. As this is a water sport, all water days are weather/safety dependent.**
