2026 Fall Season

Get on the water with us this Fall! We have sessions available for youth of all experience levels, grades 6th and up. Our programs incorporate a mix of on-water rowing, weight training, erging, cross training, team building, and more. Middle School programs will be fun-focused, emphasizing the basics of the stroke, teamwork, and communication. Our High School programs will be gradually geared more towards skill development and physical fitness, depending on experience.

 

There is need-based financial aid available through the GPRF, which you can apply for via our website or the GPRF website. GPRF scholarships are available in partial and full increments, and apply to the awardee’s seasonal rowing dues, as well as any competition fees or uniform costs.

Apply here for a rowing scholarship through the George Pocock Rowing Foundation to inquire about financial aid for any of our youth programs.

High School Fall Programs

Our High School programs are focused on building the technical, physical, emotional, and social skills needed to find success not just in rowing, but in life. We believe that the sport of rowing can be a fun and rewarding experience that also provides opportunities for young adults to develop teamwork, communication, adaptability, leadership, and perseverance. We believe in a process-oriented approach to help our athletes of all skill and ability levels improve every single day. Our High School Programs are open to athletes in grades 9-12, no experience necessary.

We offer developmentally appropriate competitive opportunities for full-time High School athletes. Fall season focuses on longer distance “Head” style races, and developing a strong cardio base for spring sprint racing.

Participation in competition is optional and will be available during the Summer, Fall, and Spring seasons. Check out our posted regattas below!

Need support to row?

The George Pocock Rowing Foundation provides need-based youth rowing scholarships at multiple boathouses throughout the Northwest. Scholarship funds are awarded based on financial need and the participant’s ability to meet attendance and participation expectations.

 

If awarded a scholarship, athletes must attend 75% of scheduled practices.

 

Partial and full financial aid packages are available, and funds may be used to cover the cost of registration and regatta fees, swimming instruction, team uniform, and transportation.
