AJR Coaches have a wealth of knowledge and experience and help new rowers master the sport through conditioning workouts, erg instruction and on-the-water training.
2020 SUMMER LEARN-TO-ROW SESSIONS for 8th-12th Graders
What: As a part of AJR’s Summer Season, AJR offers an opportunity to potential athletes to learn the sport of rowing.

End the week with a short race to test your rowing skill! New this year because we were sold out last year… 3 Sessions!
