Rowing Programs River City Crew

RCC offers rowing programs for new & member participants every year in 8th through 12th grades. The team is a "competitive-level program" specifically designed for students who do not have a rowing program associated with their high school. During the fall and spring seasons, the team travels throughout Virginia to compete in several regattas against other high schools and clubs. details

In the spring of each year, RCC is focused on Sprint Racing! This season usually kicks off in late February or early March with dry land training while we wait for the river to be freed up from any ice. Once we get on the water, we compete at a number of home and away regattas. Enrollment in this program is restricted to high school-aged students! details

The following handbook provides practical information, general guidelines and expectations about the River City Crew rowing program. The River City Crew Handbook is available for download. Download

All parents with RCC members will need to drive their rower to Robious Landing Park or arrange or coordinate other means of transportation (carpools) from their individual schools. details

River City Crew holds "Learn-to-Row" (LTR) classes for 8th to rising 12th graders including absolute beginners & intermediate / advanced rowing programs every summer. We also have the ability to have sculling lessons during the summer months as well. Learn-to-Row introduces first-timers to the equipment, procedures and basic techniques. The classes are a great way to learn more about the sport and make new friends. 2011 SUMMER SCHEDULE
