Junior Rowing
|
The SRA Junior Program is a nationally-competitive team that strives to develop exceptional and balanced student-athletes. Recent success includes more than 20 regional championship crews and four crews placing in the top ten at the USRowing Youth National Championship Regatta since 2014. SRA alumni have been recruited to row at NCAA Division I, II and III collegiate programs including Brown, Columbia, Gonzaga, MIT, Navy, Michigan, Northeastern, Oregon State, Stanford, Syracuse, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Multiple SRA alumni have competed on the United States National Team at various levels, including Olympians Rob Munn and Hans Struzyna.
We invest heavily in our coaches so that our juniors can get the best coaching possible. SRA recently partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance to deliver training and support to athletes, parents, and coaches that will give Sammamish rowers a competitive advantage in boat, in the classroom, and beyond.
