Competitive Program

The 2013 Competitive Program is almost upon us! Start date May 13th 2013 through August. Register Today.

The big change this year is that coached practice will be available for the competitive program 3 mornings per week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 5:30 am so that you can pick which days work best for you, or better still come to them all!  Coach Nat Jackson will be creating workouts for the team to follow for the entire week.  They include drills and are geared toward time on the water but can be done on the erg if necessary.

We are committed to providing a quality program & have coaches & equipment to coach at this level 3 days a week. We will look into adding a day possibly next season.*

This program is geared for anyone aspiring to get better, stronger and faster on the water. If you have this aspiration you are indeed competitive and are encouraged to join the competitive program. Basically you don't have to be at the level of training for the national team to be in the competitive group. Members of the Competitive Program will be encouraged to participate in the Friday Friendly Race Scrimmage and workouts will be focused on developing for peak race performance in August. The cost is $180 for the season (the same cost as last year). A refund will be offered to those who paid the original $200 price.

The primary focus of the Competitive Program is to build each other up to get better, stronger and faster on the water which comes through racing! We'll begin with preparation for summer sprint races and culminate in prep for the fall head race season.
