Our juniors program is a competitive rowing program for athletes in grades 8-12.

Rowers in our program will learn how to sweep and scull, and may compete in regattas at the local, regional, and national level.

In the fall, rowers that have completed a full year in the program train in our varsity squad, and first year rowers train in our novice squad.

In the spring, rowers generally train and compete in age-specific groups: U19, U17, and U16.
