Details
No experience is necessary! The tryout consists of a brief tutorial on the rowing machine, followed by a test.
Participants should plan on showing up at any time between 4-5:30pm, and expect to be there for 30 minutes.
The tryout will consist of meeting the coaching staff, receiving information about the program, and doing a brief demonstration on an indoor rowing machine.
What to Bring and What to Wear
Wear comfortable, athletic sportswear. Avoid baggy bottoms, sweatshirts, and jacket tops, as they will get caught in the sliding seat on the rowing machine.
Why do this?
High Schoolers: Athletes who make the team will become part of our ERA (Empowerment through Rowing and Academics) program, which includes intensive training/racing on and off the water with our reigning NY State Champion squad, swimming instruction (if necessary), and numerous college preparatory services. Alums of our program have received recruitment and scholarship offers from Harvard, Cornell, Smith, Lehigh, Stetson, and various other fine institutions. Please come check us out–we’d love for you to become part of our family.
Middle Schoolers: Athletes who join the Middle School team will develop skills on the water and in the classroom. Our Learn-to-Row team will master the basic skills of rowing, and have the opportunity to advance through further levels of of Middle School Rowing. Athletes will receive individualized tutoring, homework help, swimming instruction, and an upper hand in tryout out for our competitive high school team. Give rowing a try, and see where it takes you!
