Affiliated Clubs
Sculling 1:
Classes are intended to provide the foundation for skills required to become an independent sculler, including boat setup and
handling, dock etiquette, maneuvering, navigation, safety in all aspects of rowing on a busy waterway, weather wisdom, and of course,
refining sculling technique in both singles and team sculling boats. Expect to spend 8 months to a year in Sculling 1 before moving into
Sculling 2. Sculling 1 participants may come from our Learn to Row program or be a new member new to sculling.
Sculling 2:
classes continue to build a foundation toward independent sculling while adding both endurance and technical coaching. Sculling
2 students will learn how to do various drills including pause and swing drills, various oar handle work (wide grip/piano fingers/one and two
fingers), blade drills (half feather, full square, sky, alternating). In addition, Sculling 2 students will learn racing starts and participate in race
challenges in class, and begin learning both sprint and head race techniques. Speed coaches are desired but not mandatory.
Sculling 3:
Classes will be heavily focused on advanced technical drills in racing shells. This class is for experienced scullers who are familiar
with and can execute pause drills, swing drills, blade drills and handle work drills. The class will take technical focus to the next level,
developing technique with increasingly difficult challenges. This class will involve complex task loading intended to create a higher level of
awareness in a racing shell while developing an athleteʼs ability to respond to feedback on technical minutiae that is critical for refining the
rowing stroke. Initially, this class will only be offered once per week. Demand will dictate if more days will be offered.
Advanced Sculling Training and Theory:
Classes provide advanced on-water training for both endurance and race preparation. Class will
focus on finding power and speed through on-water workouts with technical feedback on the fly, as well as racing starts, sprint and head
race strategy, training plans, etc. Advanced navigation skills, a thorough knowledge of drills, and the ability to execute complex workouts
using a speed coach are required. Rowing in both singles and team boats will be an integral part of this class. This class will begin June 3rd.
