The vast majority of our rowers join as Freshmen with no prior rowing experience. Most have some athletic background. Regardless of athletic background and year in school, each participant is expected to push themself to their maximum physical ability.

Practices are held every morning during the week from 6:00AM to 8:00AM. Afternoon practices are also held. Water practices take place each weekend on either Saturday or Sunday. Attendance at both land and water practice is mandatory. Records of absences are kept and will be used when decisions are made on who will be participating in races.

A more detailed explanation of the expectations will be made in the beginning of the season by the coaches.
