Competitive
Men and women compete at the novice level for their first two seasons regardless of age and are then eligible for their appropriate varsity squad. Competition seasons occur in Fall and Spring. The first week is an easy way to “try out” the commitment of competitive rowing for you and your family’s schedule, before committing financially to the full season.

Summer Camps
Camps provide a great way for athletes to learn or develop rowing skills, within the structure of summer camp fun. Learn-to-Row camp is perfect for first time rowers! During the week-long, rowers learn about the sport, equipment, terminology, and safety of moving boats on and off the water. We begin with a basic workout program, and everyone has a chance to get out on Alum Creek. Seasoned rowers and coxswains participate in advanced rowing experience with a heavy focus on the technical aspects of the rowing stroke.

Winter Training
Our Winter season consists of land practices where we focus on rowing technique using erg machines, continuing to build strength/endurance, building team culture, and creating a competitive environment for individual progression. We finish with the Midwest Championship Erg Sprints competition. This season is important in preparing the athletes for a successful competitive season.
