FALL ROWING PROGRAM      FALL ROWING PROGRAM

The Resilient Rowing Fall Rowing Program will be comprised of any rowers and coxswains that are ready to further their rowing skills and abilities to reach the next levels in their rowing careers. Athletes should be looking to not only improve their fundamental rowing skills but also be ready to represent the Resilient Rowing Club at local and non-local regattas. Members of the Resilient Rowing Fall Program will train and compete in both sweep and sculling boats; with the goal of racing in multiple boat classes during the fall regatta season.

All Athletes will be evaluated by at least two coaches, the rower evaluation process will be based on a variety of factors including but not limited to: 20 minute test, 2K Score, Weight Factor / Power-to-Weight Ratio, Peak Power /  1-min Watt Tests, overall fitness, and technical aptitude. The coxswain evaluation process will include a variety of factors including: overall command of the crew, mastery of fundamental boat steering skills, ability to properly facilitate drills and workouts, and consideration of previous race results with review of audio/video recordings.

While registration is not capped for the Fall Rowing Program, RRC typically travels with up to the top 32 rowers (16 boys & 16 girls) and the top 3-4 coxswains for Traveling away regattas. If we have more or less qualified athletes that are ready to compete at this level, or fewer regatta entries, then we will adjust the travel team accordingly.

 

All rowers attending the Fall Rowing Program will race in three local 5K head races: the Occoquan Challenge, Occoquan Chase, and the Head of the Occoquan. And the ones that are selected for the Traveling away Regattas will travel to the Head of the Charles (with select boats only), Head of the Schuylkill Regatta and the Head of the Hooch.
