Practice Schedule
We have teams for experienced rowers as well as students brand new to the team. There is NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY to join! Please read about each team below and decide which team is best for you! The entire team, novice and varsity, will practice at the same time and the same site. The "novices" (beginners) will learn the basics and the varsity will continue where they left off last Spring.
