Adult Novice and Intermediate Season 2024



Welcome!

Registration for the Summer and Fall season of Novice and Intermediate rowing is now open.

The Novice and Intermediate program of the Master's team is open to all rowers over the age of 18 who have successfully completed one of CBRC's Learn to Row sessions and want to continue their rowing journey.  We have a great mix of ages, experience, and rowing backgrounds. You should find all the information you will need to successfully find your place at our club below. If you have other questions, email us at
[email protected].


Season Schedule

First day of Novice/Intermediate Season - Tuesday July 30, 2024
Last day of Novice/Intermediate Season - Thursday, October 31, 2024


Novice and Intermediate Program Fees

The participation fee for session one is $200.00. We anticipate opening another session on August 27th after the conclusion of August Learn to Row. As the fee structure is based on when you complete one of our Learn to Row sessions, additional registration opportunities will be updated on this page.

As with any new skill, the more one practices, the better one becomes. We encourage you to register upon completion of your Learn to Row session to maintain and grow your rowing abilities.


Program Overview

Novice and Intermediate rowers practice twice a week during the same times as our Masters rowers, but as a separate group with a separate coach. We will try to honor your preference for one rowing technique over another. However, we may need to have you practice in sculling shells or sweep boats depending on numbers at a specific practice.

Rowers who complete the Novice and Intermediate program are encouraged to continue developing their stroke and build greater stamina and fitness during our indoor winter workouts from November to February.  If you have any other questions, email us at [email protected].


Practice Times

Tuesday 5:30-7 a.m.
Thursday 5:30-7 a.m.

Athletes may choose one or both practices during the week although we encourage attendance at both practices for continuity and continuous improvement.

Practices are held rain or shine at the CBRC boathouse. Weekday access to the park is through the rear gate along N. Thorne Lane. 

Please arrive on time and ready to row. We try to have boats back to the docks by 6:50 am and most athletes depart by 7:05 am.

Please bring a set of indoor athletic wear in case of bad weather; also include a pair of closed heel athletic shoes for use on the rowing machines.

Locker room and shower facilities are available for those participants needing to head directly from practice to work. Please consult with one of the coaches regarding the proper use of the facilities and lock-up of the boathouse.
