2009 GDRA Rookie Rowers

The Rookie Rowers Program offers an introduction to the sport of rowing to Junior High School students. The program is designed to teach both sculling and sweep rowing skills, ergometer technique, physical conditioning, water safety and teamwork. Students row three days per week throughout the summer with additional opportunities to continue training during the Spring and Fall rowing seasons. High School rowers in the GDRA Juniors program as well as collegiate rowers enjoy sharing their skills as assistant coaches. This program has been a fun experience for all participants.
