A recreational program for rowers with no or little experience, who want to learn the skills of rowing in a fun environment.
Who: All rowers in 6th and 7th grades, both new and experienced
**Minimum age for the program is 12 due to US Coast Guard Regulations for children under 12 in small crafts
***8th graders may do either the Novice competition team or the Modified Team. The Novice team will have more focus on fitness and preparing athletes to race in the region. Modified is focused on fun and learning basic skills. Please reach out to CBC General Manager Jonathan Crist ([email protected]) if you are an 8th grader considering this option.
Modified Programming will pick back up again in the Spring. Please check the CBC Youth Website for when details update.
Have great winter and we'll see you at the boathouse in the Spring!
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).
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.
