The Junior Development program is designed to provide a space for youth rowers to develop their physical, mental, technical, tactical and life skills as they work towards their rowing goals. This program follows the “Train to Train” pathway of athlete development, and activities include skills and drills, race simulation, ergometer/dryland training, and racing in club regattas. The program is taught in a fun and supportive environment with a goal of continuing to develop a solid foundation of skills. Participants are introduced to basic measures of fitness and strength on the rowing machine and encouraged to work as a crew toward collective goals on the water. When they reach the age of 15 and after one season of Junior Development, athletes may choose to transition to the Junior Competitive program pending evaluation by the coaching team.
