Our Juniors Program is dedicated to developing young rowers by teaching technique, teamwork, and self-discipline.

The program provides maximum flexibility so that busy students can choose the practice schedule and degree of commitment to suit their individual goals.

« Why Texas Rowing Center?

• Two Crews in One Program
  The Texas Rowing Juniors Program gives students two crew options: the Competitive Crew and the Recreational Crew.
  
  
• Competitive Crew
  Our competitive program challenges those high-school students who want to train to race competitively in regattas. Our goal is to develop team boats capable of competing in regattas and winning state and national championships!
• Recreational Crew
  The Recreational Crew is the best option for students who are interested in rowing, but are not interested in competing. We encourage all students in grades 6 through 12. This program is perfect for new rowers and experienced rowers alike.

Our Fall 2008 Season begins on Monday, August 25th and runs through Friday, December 19th, 2008.

The goal for crew members is to improve technique and endurance, while experiencing the excitement of team-boat rowing. We will set group goals for the crew, and individual goals for every rower.

Our coaches will introduce various drills to develop technical skills and to improve boat speed. Recreational Crew members are invited to participate in local regattas and inter-squad races.

• Competitive Crew Our competitive program challenges those high-school students who want to train to race competitively in regattas. Our goal is to develop team boats capable of competing in regattas and winning state and national championships!

  We hone the talents of each individual by improving fitness and developing technical proficiency. Athletes practice and race in sculling singles, doubles, and quads.

• Practice Schedule Texas Rowing Center provides the following flexible practice schedule that allows busy students to choose the days they row based on their availability:

Students may row up to five times per week, but must attend at least three sessions per week for PE credit.
