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 novice racing program. On Development team, athletes learn the basics of rowing while gaining fitness. Sessions are open to athletes aged middle school (11) and up. 

Our development team is split into two groups: level I and level II. 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.

Two sessions are available:

• Level I: Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:45pm - 6:45pm

  • Limited to 25 athletes

  • First 25 to sign up are guaranteed spots on the team. The only way to secure your spot is to register; coaches cannot reserve spots for any reason.

  • After the first 25 spots are filled there will be a waitlist enabled

• Level II: Mondays and Wednesdays 5:45pm - 6:45pm

  • COACH APPROVAL REQUIRED. Please note that participation in level II is limited to those recommended by coaches.

  • If you are unsure if your child qualifies for level 2 but want to secure your spot please register for LEVEL ONE and then email our administrator at admin@pcrarowing.com. Our admin can move your athlete to level II at a later date if the coach recommends them for level II
