SPRING TRIAL FOR NEW ROWERS

​

Try rowing for new high school rowers from 9th-12th grade.

 

This will be a mutual evaluation period where prospective competitive rowers for the U16, U17 and U19 squads grades 8-12 have the opportunity to participate in regular practice for two weeks to see if rowing is a good fit. Competitive rowing demands a high level of fitness and consistency- Dallas United Crew is a program that takes performance seriously, so joining the high school team requires a commitment to attend practice nearly every day and the determination to work hard toward technical and fitness goals. These goals will go hand in hand with our performances at regattas and on the National Stage. Coaches will assess rowers based on their enthusiasm and effort rather than focusing on technical ability or experience. For 8th graders, coaches will also consider their physical and emotional maturity to ensure they can interact effectively and keep pace with 9th and 10th graders.

 

At the end of the session, coaches will advise interested participants on either joining the team or waiting for another season—or to join our Middle School program. Season fees will be prorated for those who join the team. The trial period is mandatory for anyone new to the high school team, including those who rowed in middle school, participated in summer camp, or attended a learn-to-row session. 

 

Cost: Prorated to date

Trial Dates: January 20th-31st

Approved participants join full time February 3rd (prorate February 3rd to May 5th)
