Evening Mixed Masters Team
This team is a diverse group of men and women of all ages (21+) and backgrounds. The program was established for experienced rowers who want to row in the early evenings and on weekends. The participants have a wide range of rowing experience, from previous TRRA or other club programs, to prior participation on high school or college crews. Our goals vary as well, from a desire to improve rowing skills by consistently rowing with a motivated group, to fitness, to competition. Our program will strive to meet all of those goals in an atmosphere that is both structured and congenial.
