Fall Junior Racing Program - 2017
For Upper Valley high school rowers with 1 or more spring seasons of racing experience and a commitment to training for two head races (endurance distances from 4-6km). Seats are limited so sign up well in advance (we will maintain a wait list).
Attendance at all practices and races is expected.
UVRF Junior membership is required. 2017 Leb Crew and 2017 Summer Junior Scullers are already UVRF members (no need to register for Fall Only membership)!
For non-members, there is a discounted FALL ONLY Junior membership fee of $25 for the fall season only.
Membership and program fee will be waived for committed coxswains who want to get valuable head racing experience. Head races are sometimes called "coxswain's races" because of the critical role of good steering and focused leadership over long distances. Email Erika if you are interested in coxing.
