Masters Rowing is for adults 18+ who have prior experience rowing and who are excited to continue training with like minded athletes. Both the Masters Competitive and Masters Recreational Teams are coached programs, with athletes primarily training in team boats, both sculling and sweep. The ability and willingness to train in the single is highly valued on both teams as well, especially on mornings when numbers aren’t quite right for team boats. If you are interested in coxing for either team, we would love to have you!
We divide our training year into different sessions, based on the season. Come for one, come for all – we offer sessions through the Summer, Fall and Spring.
Check out details on both teams below, and find the best fit for you! Anyone joining a masters team must also have a GBR Annual Membership.
