The Varsity program consists of: 

Fall Session (Mid-Sept. to mid-Nov.);

Winter Session (Nov. end to Mid Feb.); and

Spring Session (Mid-Feb. - Mid-June)

 

The main racing season in the spring. 

 

Practice consists of six two-hour sessions a week:

Monday-Friday         approximately 4:00-6:00pm

Saturday                   approximately 10:00am-12:00 noon

 

Rowers may have the opportunity to travel with the team to away regattas. The number of participants in this program is limited and it is intended for athletes that are serious about competing at a high level with each other and other teams. 

 

Due to the limited number of boats/equipment there will be selection for this program made during the first three weeks of each season. The team will be selected based on ergometer score, athletic ability/potential, work ethic, attendance and rowing technique at the coaches’ discretion.

                                                                                            

 

The Novice Program consists of Fall and Spring sessions.  Practice times are the same as the Varsity Program (see above). The Novice program, which is open to 8^th graders and up, will be limited to a certain number of beginner athletes and is for those who wish to participate in rowing six days a week and aspire to be in the Varsity Program. Novice rowers will follow a separate racing schedule from the varsity squad. In cases where an athlete shows exceptional improvement they may be moved to the Varsity Program before the end of the season.

 

As in previous seasons there will be selection for this program made during the first month of each season. The team will be selected based on ergometer score, athletic ability/potential, work ethic, attendance and rowing technique at the coaches’ discretion.

 

 

 

MJRC's summer program focuses on fitness, strength and conditioning.  By using a combination of weight training, cross training and rowing, athletes build core strength and fitness. In addition to sweep rowing, the summer program introduces an element of sculling to the rowers.  Rowers practice five evenings each week from mid-June  through mid-August.
