Program Description

The 2009 - 2010 winter training program will prepare varsity rowers for spring competition and improve athleticism and rowing potential for novices, non-competitive adults and those returning to rowing after a break in training. Although winter training attendance can be more flexible than participation in the regular rowing season, the more you put into your participation the more you will improve. Winter training will take place from December 14th through March 13th at our rented space on the first floor of 883 Broadway in Albany at the corner of Broadway and North Ferry Street.

Winter Training Schedule

Two sessions are offered between 3:30 and 6:30 pm weekdays. Varsity rowers will train 6 days per week; novices and non-varsity will train 3 or 4 days per week. Logistics for session assignments and Saturday rowing will be worked out by Coach Mike MacMinn.

Adult coached

Weekday evenings (MWTh) at 6:30 and Saturday mornings time TBD and arranged by Coach Mike Warner.
