DEVELOPMENT
This program is for student-athletes from 6th to 12th grade. The goals of the Development Program are to create a foundation of comfort in a rowing shell for athletes while also teaching them valuable lessons about team-work, independence, self-discovery, accountability, and good habits that may carry them to higher levels on the Competitive Team. The rowing motion is also a great dynamic movement that helps foster coordination, strength, and flexibility needed in a healthy young adult.
We encourage all High School age athletes to consider the Competitive Program rather than Development as they will be training with athletes the same age, even if you’re new to the sport!
We offer Development for the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons along with options for week long small boat camps throughout the Summer.
More information on each program can be found through our registration links below, or by contacting our JAC Chair (jacchair@nashvillerowing.org)
Winter Registration is OPEN for Development Program
Practices throughout the year take place from 4:00-6:30 PM in the Fall and Spring, and 4:00-6:00 PM in the Winter on Tuesday & Thursday for Development.
There may be some additional Saturdays from 9:00-11:30 AM announced in advance for scrimmages or exhibition races.
Summer Small Boat & Sculling Programs
These are valuable to our athletes development, and can afford them time in smaller shells a sculling boats where they can receive more individualized coaching from the Coaching Staff in smaller groups. Our Small Boat Camps are open to all athletes that have prior rowing experience and/or have participated in at least one one water season of programming with us.
