7th/8th Group
Competitive Middle School
Our 7th/8th grade group practices three days a week, where athletes get to learn both styles of rowing: sculling (two oars per person) and sweeping (one oar per person). Along the way, they'll join in on scrimmages with other teams, giving them a taste of what competitive rowing is like as they prepare for high school. It’s a great way to improve skills, make memories, and experience the excitement of racing!
