Rowing is a unique sport in that there is an entire segment of our sport devoted to new athletes - novice rowing. When a new rower joins our team, they will train and race with other rowers in their first year of rowing. After completing a year of novice rowing athletes will move on to the varsity program.

Middle School Fall Rowing
Three Rivers’ Middle School Rowing program is ideal for both inexperienced and experienced rowers currently in middle school. This program is designed to prepare athletes for our 8-12th grade program by instilling each athlete with the confidence and good character necessary to succeed at the varsity level. This is accomplished through skill development, team-building activities, and competition.
Our fall season takes place at the Washington's Landing Campus, where we have access to indoor rowing machines (commonly called ergs), a weight/fitness center, and a full rowing fleet. Athletes can expect to spend time on both our ergs and on the water each day, with additional activities, games, and core + flexibility exercises included in the programming.
Any athlete, regardless of experience or background, is welcome to row with us. Financial support is available.
