Junior/High School athletes— Looking to row this summer in a competitive and fun atmosphere while developing your skills and talent? Then, the Riverfront U19 Development Team is for you! The purpose of this program is to bring together like-minded young athletes to develop their rowing technique, boat feel, and improve fitness. Then head to college or back to their respective programs (or stay at Riverfront!) with a better understanding of the rowing stroke. This program will also help introduce athletes to college coaches through college fairs at summer races and college coaches who decide to ride along at practice throughout the season. Racing is an integral component of this Program, and we plan to attend a number of races throughout the summer. ALL athletes (even those who may not yet meet all ideal criteria) are welcome to join us. Athletes can expect the first week to be an Observation Week where the coaches and athletes work together to discuss their goals and to ensure the athlete’s goals align with the goals of the Program. Riverfront Racing Tank included with all paid registrations. Race entry fees, travel/food/accommodations are not included in the Program Fee. Practices are held May 31st to August 12th on Monday/Tuesday/Thursdays from 5:40-7:40 am (docking around 7:30ish) and Saturday 7:30 - 9:30, at the Riverfront Boathouse in Riverside Park, 20 Leibert Road Hartford
