Technical Rowing Team

Our Athletes

  • The Technical Team is for athletes 12 years old and up.
  • Athletes must have rowing experience! This can be a previous WBC Learn to Row camp, a previous WBC rowing program, or something similar at another club.
  • Athletes who want to work on their rowing technique both in sculling and sweep rowing.

What will you learn?

In our Technical Team Programs, athletes will focus primarily on mastering technical skills. We emphasize proper form and technique to lay a strong foundation for future success in rowing. At WBC, we introduce young athletes to sculling, where each rower uses two oars. Sculling teaches athletes to develop body motion, boat feel, and individual responsibility. These skills are crucial as they lay the groundwork for sweeping (using one oar), which is common in high school and college rowing.

Our program prioritizes technique, with an additional focus on building aerobic fitness. We aim to prepare athletes to advance to competitive rowing, either within our own programs at WBC or at their high schools. This approach ensures that students not only develop their rowing skills but also gain a solid athletic foundation for future challenges.

Schedule & Expectations

This program runs from September 12 to November 15, 2026. 

Practice will be held 2 days / week Saturday & Sunday 1:45-3:45 PM. Drop-off begins at 1:30 PM and pick up runs until 4:00 PM.

NO PRACTICE October 17 & 18. 

While attendance is not mandatory, we encourage athletes to participate in as many sessions as possible.This program only trains, there are no commitments to regattas or races throughout the season. This team aims to promote sportsmanship, friendship, and good physical and mental health by focusing on the development of the whole athlete in a team environment.
