Who We Are
Over a decade ago the Evening Competitive Masters (ECM) team started, as all good things do, over beers at an Irish bar. The team was born out of a Learn to Row class of dedicated adult rowers. Over the past decade the team has grown and evolved to attract new and experienced rowers and coxswains. Today we are a diverse team of dedicated athletes that includes National and World champions.
We train and play hard in an inclusive team environment that rewards dedication and fun while competing at the nation’s biggest regattas. You’ll find us pushing ourselves every “Race Day Saturday” and then celebrating our successes and friendship the third Thursday of the month at JJ Mahoney’s Irish bar. The bar that started it all.

Evening Competitive Masters is comprised of two teams, the Novice Team and the Experienced Team.

Novice Team
The Evening Novice Team will take a beginner to the next level of rowing and racing. The focus is on developing technique, rowing as a team, and building fitness. Rowers will compete on the Novice Team for one to two years, as they become proficient at rowing in all boats (1x, 2x, 2-, 4x, 4+, 8+). Experienced Team
The Evening Experienced Team is a dedicated group of athletes with the desire to continue to develop their rowing skills, get faster, and compete at local and national regattas. The team fields all classes of boats: sweep, sculling, men, women, and mixed. All rowers are expected to attend practices regularly, and training on non-practice days is highly encouraged. Prerequisites: Completion of the novice program or coach approval |
