Competitive Programs
The SA Competitive Program is a co-ed program for athletes that are interested in, and devoted to advancing their rowing skills in a competitive environment. Whether you are focused on a rowing scholarship or just love competing, we have a place for you. Our Program includes both Novice Squad and Varsity Squad Programs.
Successful athletes are dedicated to rigorous conditioning training, are able to meet the demands of aggressive technique drills and are enthusiastic about training for competition against other clubs within the Southeast Region for a shot at competing in the National Championships. Within the competitive programs, rowers are expected to earn their seat in the boat, to be committed to consistent participation and attendance, and to invest in becoming the best athlete possible.
Our coaches are dedicated to the development of our athletes and expect all young men and women who choose to become a part of this program to match this investment. In return, our athletes become a part of one of the most successful youth rowing programs, excelling at both the regional and national levels, and attracting the attention of some of the most prestigious Collegiate Programs in the county. In short, our Competitive Program is perfect for athletes aspiring to carry on our Tradition of Excellence.
