JUNIOR ROWING

The Junior team is our High School team. All rowers on the Junior Team must be current 9^th-12^th graders.  There is no experience necessary to be on this team.  The Junior team is made up of students from all over the Indy area with rowers of all experience levels, backgrounds, and stories.  We are excited to introduce all to the sport of rowing and welcome you to this community. High School Rowers are all part of the same team, practicing at the same time and traveling and competing at regattas together.  The Red Team and Black Team delineations are so that we can best fit the needs of all members of the team. 

RED TEAM 

Our Red Team is composed of our newer rowers and some of our more competitive rowers who have other commitments outside of rowing. The Red Team is the team for you if you are any age high school student new to rowing, a Freshman or Sophomore still developing your rowing skills, or any age high school rower that only wants to come to rowing a few times a week and sees rowing as something fun to do with friends but has no wishes to continue rowing competitively beyond high school. 

No experience (or special fitness level) needed — just bring a spirit of adventure, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Red team is $735 plus $175 equipment fee. We do offer a $99 2-week trial for all new rowers.  Come try it out for 2 weeks and only pay the $99.  If you love it, remain on the team and the $99 fee is credited to your registration fee.  If you decide not to continue, no other money is owed. 

Red Team Practices Mon – Fri 4:30pm-7pm

BLACK TEAM

Our Black Team is made up of our Juniors and Seniors who have been rowing at least one year and who are dedicated to attending practice 6 days a week.  These rowers have developed skills beyond the basics and have aspirations of rowing competitively beyond high school. Rowers should be approved by coaches before registering for the Black Team.  

Black team is $865 plus $175 equipment fee
