Come and feel the run of the boat! Begin with "Sample Sculling" and see if our sport is for you! Then, if you're hooked, enroll in our "Learn-to-Scull" Program and acquire more of the basics. The program is offered in a small-group setting and is highly individualized. If you can't make our schedule, you are welcome to participate in private or semi-private sessions that you set up on your own schedule with one of our coaches.

Step 1: Sample Sculling for Masters Program
"Sample Sculling" is designed to give newcomers an introduction to our sport. It has both land and water components. If you are totally new to sculling, you will first learn basic sculling technique using a land rowing machine (i.e. ergometer or "erg") and have the opportunity to get into a wide, stable boat with an experienced "sculling buddy."
Our Spring 2022 Sample Sculling sessions will be available on:
Cost: $25 suggested contribution

Step 2: Learn-to-Scull Program
Learn-to-Scull can be accessed after a Sample Sculling session is completed. Learn-to-Scull is designed to bring beginning scullers from learning to scull in a two-person wide-bottomed boat with an expert buddy to being able to scull their own wide-bottomed boat. Eventually they will be able to scull their own narrower, recreational single.
The program is broken up into 4-week segments. Purchase one 4-week package and receive 8 practices. Practices take place on Thursday evenings for land training (until evening light provides us an option) and Saturday mornings on the water (whenever conditions permit). The learning time on the water is very individualized so participants can progress at their own rate.

Step 3: Novice / Intermediate Sculling
This program is the continuation of the Learn-to-Scull program. Emphasis is on gaining proficiency and safety in recreational singles. Participants complete their "Captain's Evaluation" during this sequence, or are deemed adequately safe in a recreational single without another sculler or safety launch alongside, and generally tend to require less supervision on the water.
Cost: Scullers purchase a pass which they can use on any of the scheduled days. A 6-session pass is $150.00 and a 12 session pass is $225.00.
How To Enroll: Please pre-register with Head Coach Pat Tirone.
