NAME THE COACH
​
This coach started as a rower on our very first Foundry Juniors team! Can you name the coach?
Recreational Program
The Recreational program aims to create a supportive and relaxed environment where the focus is on helping athletes build, progress, and maintain their rowing skills on and off the water, while staying active through on land & water conditioning, and making friends in a casual, low commitment setting.
​
Practices will consist of working together as a whole team as well as splitting up into groups based on experience in order to efficiently build foundational rowing skills and develop technique. Newer rowers will establish their abilities on indoor rowing machines and tanks before joining the more experienced athletes on the water in 8 and 4 person shells. This is the perfect place for athletes to build rowing competence and determine if they enjoy rowing and want to take the next step in joining a competitive racing team as well as for returning athletes to stay involved and get on the water. Recreational Rowing will be held every Thursday and Friday from Thursday, March 19th - Thursday May 21st.
