The 8th grade competitive program is designed to be a bridge from middle school to high school rowing. Rowers will be developing their rowing knowledge base and work together to develop a solid team culture. 8th grade strength & conditioning will focus on functional movement and individual development.  On the water rowers will be given many opportunities to learn to scull and develop their correct technique.
