CBC will continue to offer socially distanced sculling programs this spring season with the goal of providing scholastic rowers a low-risk way to row on the water. There are no planned competitions, but the program will provide opportunity to continue developing skills and fitness. The spring program will be divided into two phases to maximize rowing opportunities while also considering the safety limitations of early spring rowing (i.e. cold water and air).
Phase 1: Experienced rowers only
This Phase is limited to experienced rowers only. Due to COVID-19 we are limited to small boats of 4 people or less. The small boats we will use are easy to flip and the risk of ending up in cold water is high for new rowers.
Phase 2: Sculling pods for all, similar to the fall
Dates: May 10th – June 18th (6 weeks)
Practice times: Monday – Friday 3:45-6:30pm. Saturday and Sunday morning times as well.
Practice frequency: 2x/week
Details: Phase 2 will be similar to what we did in the fall. Rowers will be placed into pods and will row in 1x, 2x or 4x, depending on skills and interests. In phase 2 we will make every effort to get novice and modified rowers on the water as well as experienced/varsity level rowers.
Coach to Athlete Ratio: 1:4
Fees: $180
Prior to COVID-19, here is what the modified sculling program looked like. We hope to get back to a fun, team program when it is safe to do so.
CBC's modified sculling is a recreational program for new and experienced rowers in grades 7-8. New rowers learn to scull in a fun and safe environment, while experienced scullers can improve their technique and build strength.
Who can row modified?
All rowers (new and experienced) in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade will row on the Modified squad until they have finished 8th grade. In some cases 8th graders may be moved to the Freshman/Novice squad at the discretion of the coach.
Do rowers have to be at ICSD?
All CBC squads are open to students from any school district (including home-schooled students) who can commit to the practice schedule.
Do modified rowers compete?
Modified rowers do not compete or travel to away regattas.
What kind of boats do modified rowers use?
Modified rowers use four-person boats and stable, training singles. They focus on sculling (2 oars/person, one in each hand).
How many times per week is practice?
Modified practice is three times per week during the fall and spring seasons, depending on coach availability. Times vary per session. During the summer, modified rowers can join the learn to row programs.
A note on practices...
All spring, summer, and fall practices occur in Stewart Park at Cascadilla Boathouse. Practices are held, weather permitting, on the Cayuga and Fall Creek Inlets, and Cayuga Lake. Typically, boats go out in most weather except when there is a strong north wind or thunder. If the weather does not allow rowing, practices are held on-land and include aerobic workouts, strength training, erging, and stretching.
