Middle School Rowing

This 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. At this level we work on building cohesion, establish a positive team culture, and create a strong foundation so these rowers are ready to move into the High School team in 9th grade. Rowing is a full body workout, using 85% of the body’s muscles.  It is low impact. It combines cardio work and strength training, as well as mental toughness.  Rowing relieves stress and teaches both teamwork and individual drive. Our Middle Schoolers have the opportunity to make friends while learning and developing a new skill that can be a life-long hobby or  turn into their passion.  Rowing is one of the top collegiate recruited sports. No experience (or special fitness level) needed — just bring a spirit of adventure, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Middle School Spring Season costs $400 plus $87 equipment fee. We do offer a $99 2-week trial for all new rowers.  Come try it out for 2 weeks (3/23-4/4) 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.
