Registration is now open for the Fall Rowing Clinic at Oak Hollow Lake designed specifically for middle school students. Students entering Grade 7 or 8 at any Triad area middle school this Fall semester are eligible to join the program.
WHEN: The Autumn rowing season is August 20 through to November 17. Registered participants may begin on August 13 and row the week prior to the official start date at no additional charge.
Middle school participants will row Monday and Thursday from 4:30pm to 6:15pm and Saturday morning 9:00-11am.
WHERE: Rowing takes place at Oak Hollow Lake in High Point. Using GPS, 3700 Waterview Road, High Point, NC. See the directions link for location.
RACING: Racing for the Middle School squad will include the Crew Anniversary Boat Races on September 8, the High Point Autumn Rowing Festival on September 29 and the Head of the South in November. Middle school rowers achieving a certain rowing standard may be invited to race up in Novice Crews when needed at additional regattas at the discretion of the coaching staff.
WHAT TO WEAR: Students should wear normal athletic attire suitable for the weather and flip flops rather than running shoes as participants will walk the boat into the water.
Students must be confident swimmers as a safety precaution. Space is extremely limited and places will be accepted and guaranteed only upon full payment and completion of the signed waiver and swim form.
COST: The fee for this clinic is $385.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: If your child cannot make it to practice on one of the scheduled days please see email Coach Gene about having them row on a different day.
