Sammamish Rowing Association’s High School Team provides a safe and supportive environment for student athletes to develop rowing skills and fitness, as well as sportsmanship, commitment, teamwork, and discipline. SRA’s coaches provide support and guidance to help athletes pursue excellence on and off the water, set and achieve realistic goals, and develop balance between family, school, and rowing. Junior rowers leave SRA with the confidence to take on the next chapters of their lives whether on or off the water, having built skills, friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime.

"Rowing is for anyone, because of the success you can gain from it even when you are least expecting it. The community behind you will support you to achieve whatever you want. Rowing improved my life because it brought me some of my best friends, and I can say the experiences I’ve had with Sammamish Rowing Association have shaped me into the person I am today."
- Alex Lalor, 2019 Junior Program Alumni

CAMPS FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL ROWERS
Jump Start
SRA’s four-week Jump Start camp is an intensive camp for rising 9th-12th graders with no prior rowing experience and for rising 9th graders from SRA’s middle school program. Participants plan to join SRA’s high school team in fall and/or want to learn what it’s like to be part of SRA’s competitive team. Athletes will work hard as they learn about rowing technique, fitness training, and the commitment required to be part of SRA’s year-round high school team. This camp is highly recommended but not required for fall participation. Jump Start participants who join the high school team in fall will receive a $100 credit toward their fall fees.
Try Rowing
SRA’s three-week Try Rowing camps are for rising 9th-12th graders who are looking for a traditional summer camp experience. Sign up for Try Rowing to explore a new sport, make friends, and have fun this summer. Less intensive than SRA’s Jump Start Program, Try Rowing is for kids who are not currently considering joining SRA’s year-round high school program. Rising 9th graders from SRA’s middle school program are also eligible to join. Camps available in June, July, and August; limit one camp per person.

Junior Regionals: Thursday, May 18 - Sunday, May 21
TrainingDeveloping the fitness, skills, and strength required to be competitive requires a serious time commitment, including practice after school and on Saturdays as well as regattas on some weekends. To achieve top speed on the water, rowers also spend significant time on land engaged in weight training, running, and time on rowing machines (ergs). The practice and race schedule varies by season; see below for the current schedule.
Rowing is a year-round sport at SRA. However, if you are a multisport athlete interested in joining us after your other sport season is over, email one of the junior coaches via our staff page. |
