This fall, 8th graders have the option to row with SRA’s middle school program or join the high school team, which is for students going into grades 8-12.

Sammamish Rowing Association’s middle school program is geared primarily to 8th graders. Participants learn rowing technique on the water and build physical fitness with land-based workouts that can include running, calisthenics, and fitness-related games and competitions.
In fall and spring, 8th graders have registration priority; rowers in 7th grade who meet the minimum height requirement of 5' 1" go on a waitlist and are added if space is available. Summer programs are for rising 8th graders only; click here for information. In fall and spring, Middle School rowers practice three days a week after school. Two days a week practice is run out of Idylwood Park in Redmond, where rowers learn to “beach launch” (wading in shallow water to launch and land). On Friday, rowers practice at the Hod Fowler Boathouse in Marymoor Park to improve their technique and fitness on the boathouse ergs (rowing machines). In summer all practices are held at the Hod Fowler Boathouse. Learn about scholarship opportunities here. |
