ROCKFORD ROWING - MIDDLE SCHOOL

Join our Middle School rowing team this fall. Our coaching staff will help the students learn and reinforce the fundamentals of the rowing stroke on land and on the water. Students will also be learning how to handle equipment and build confidence and comfort on the water.

This season will consist of one regatta in Ada, MI, and an inner-team scrimmage.

CLOTHING & FOOTWEAR

• Athletic shorts and a T-shirt or tank top

- A second dry set of clothes to change into after practice

• Sneakers or athletic shoes for land training (Athletes must bring these every

day)

• Water shoes or old sneakers that can get wet (for docks and on-water work).

Crocs are also a great option.

• Light layer or sweatshirt for cool mornings

- Hat or visor

SUN & WEATHER PROTECTION

• Sunscreen (applied before arrival)

- Sunglasses with a strap or retention cord

- Bug Spray

• Rain jacket (weather happens — be ready)

Physicals are strongly recommended but not required to participate; these can be done by a family physician.

The program runs Aug 31st – Oct 29, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays with Sept. 7th off.
