8th Grade Fall Info
Program Cost: $470 for program fees and $75 BIR dues
Additional Cost: $25 for USRowing membership ($20 for existing members) All rowers must have a valid US Rowing Membership (good for 365 days).
The ‘Great-Eights’ program is designed as a positive and inspiring introduction to the sport of rowing for any and all 8th graders (coed). We employ a ground-up approach for the brand new athlete that aims to build their knowledge of equipment and safe practices, mechanics of the stroke and the principles of teamwork. For the ‘rowing-curious’, our first week focuses on familiarization and fundamentals: starting on land and then moving into the stable ‘barge’ on the water. Registration will be capped at 20 participants.

- September 11th – Float Tests for all new rowers. Meet at the Aquatic Center anytime between 2pm and 2:45pm (float test takes 10 minutes). All rowers must have a float test on file.
