Youth Program
Who can join? These program are open to girls and boys from any high school or middle school in the area. No experience necessary! We will teach you everything you need to know about rowing.
What are the benefits? Rowing is a great sport that combines a full body workout with aerobic training. Especially for female rowers, many college scholarship opportunities are available to Division I, Division II and Ivy League schools. Lake Lanier Rowing Club also offers a small scholarship to one graduating male and one female who plan to include rowing in their college experience. Not to mention, it’s a great way to spend afternoons on the lake!
Rowing can be considered the ultimate team sport – it takes 9 people working together to get the boat to move fast (or move at all!). 100% attendance is strongly encouraged to facilitate team cohesion and improvements. If you regularly miss practices you will not only be hindering your own success, but the success of the entire team.
During the 2011 fall season there will be several Saturday morning sessions designed to provide an introduction to rowing for interested students. The winter/spring season will begin in mid-January and continue until mid-May. Scheduled dates for the intro sessions are Oct. 22, Oct. 29, Nov. 19, Dec 3. Contact the LLRC office for exact time.
