Novice rowers will start by learning basic rowing technique, while developing fitness and flexibility. They will learn in small groups, to maximize individual attention and to set athletes up with the foundation required for success.
Our athletes will begin and learn in small boats - this provides accountability to the athletes, in addition to foundational boat-feel and water-feel skills that serve as a platform for future development.
OARS rowers will be introduced to as many boat classes as possible, across sweep and sculling - helping skills that will prepare athletes for varsity rowing.
We will also introduce our novice rowers to a periodized training environment, and help them learn to work towards achieving goals.
Our novice rowers will learn how to think and structure goals - for both individual and the team - and how to take the steps towards achieving them.
As athletes progress, we will introduce them to racing - first within the squad, and then at local regattas (rowing races).
We aim by end of year for all our novice rowers have developed a love for the sport, the team and training!
