DEVELOPENT TEAM

PCRA’s Development team is a great starting point for any athlete interested learning how to row. Our Development Team is co-ed and is the first step towards joining either our boys or girls competitive racing programs. On Development Team, athletes learn the basics of rowing while gaining fitness. Sessions are open to athletes aged middle school (11) and up.

The Development Team is split into two groups. Level I is for athletes newer to the sport who are still working on the basic skills. Level II is for athletes recommended by the coach who have previous rowing experience. Level II athletes will work towards making the Novice Team.

Development Team athletes will have the opportunity to participate in PCRA’s Spring Fling Regatta, the end of season inter-squad scrimmage held at our Boathouse on Glen Island on a date in May to be confirmed.
