Welcome all rowers! NO Experience Necessary!
Three Rivers Junior Rowing (TRJr.) promotes the sport of rowing in high schools throughout Allegheny County. Three Rivers Rowing provides coaching, equipment, administration and helps to establish parent participation. Three Rivers Rowing works directly with Parent Organizations, High School Athletic Directors and/or other school administrators and rowers to cultivate the sport within participating schools.
Rowers from several schools have the opportunity to practice together, which
provides more flexibility in boat selection and enhances a quality rowing
experience and rower development.
TRJr. is designed as a competitive rowing team while still having the capability to teach the new rower. Rowers will be grouped together according to skill level and coached accordingly. The first few practices will be spent learning on the ergometers (rowing machines) and in the rowing tanks to teach beginner members the terminology, water safety, equipment, and rowing technique. Rowers will earn seats in racing boats. Priority is to field the fastest boats possible in all categories of sweeps and sculls. Attendence and commitment level is directly related to whether the rower will earn a seat in the boat.
The team consists of two groups. The Novice Team is the group of rowers who are in their first year of rowing. They practice together and race other novice teams. The Varsity Team is made up of rowers who are in at least their second year of rowing. All members are high school students. The team has about 10 high schools represented.

Forms & Fees
Forms are required to be on record at TRRA for all rowers, including the following three documents:
- 1. TRRA Legal Waiver, signed by parent;
- 2. TRRA Swim Test Form, signed by a certified life guard;
- 3. TRJR Code of Conduct, signed by the rower, witnessed by parent.
Fees are due to TRRA at the first practice of the second week of program participation. Rowers will not be permitted to practice after the first week until all fees are paid. Needs-based athletic scholarships are available for qualified applicants.
If you can't get enough of rowing in the fall, TRRA also runs a Junior Rowing Summer Camp for beginning and experienced youth rowers. The summer camp welcomes 7th - 12th graders from all middle and high schools. There is no doubt that summer is a special season for rowing in Pittsburgh and this will be an excellent time to either discover a sport you have wondered about, hone your skills, or focus on competitive racing.
