Rowing
League
 The
league runs once per week for two months and includes three mini-regattas
held at the end of each session. In this league rowers will begin
with very little knowledge of the sport, but will finish with a
sound understanding of what it is to row. Rowing combines the elements
of fitness, coordination, and personal achievement into a challenging
sport. The Youth Rowing League is directed towards both girls and
boys, 13 - 17 years old.
The first rowing session covers the "how to's" of rowing,
parts of the boat, safety procedures, oar carrying and boat carrying.
On the second day, dockside instruction will be given, so participants
are comfortable in the boat before shoving off.
By day four, crews are in the boats, and on the water. We begin
by completing drills that focus on rowing basics such as balancing,
pushing with your legs, relaxing your arms and keeping your back
straight. As crews gain experience and practice, coaches will move
on to more advanced topics such as simple starts for a race situation
and rowing in time with your crew.
 All
these skills will be put to use at the fun regattas that will be
held at the end of the session. Crews will race and challenge the
speed of other boats to determine the true Toronto Rowing Champions!
After completing this rowing league, rowers who wish to continue
will have the option of participating in a number of our other club
programs. Whether another league, our summer camps, or even for
the more competitive the Jr. Varsity Program; many opportunities
await to continue rowing.
