WHAT IS ROWING STAR?
The Best Way for Middle and High Schoolers to Discover Rowing. (7th to 12th grade)
Rowing Star is part of a broader national effort, supported by USRowing, to help youth rowing programs grow across the country. Through this four-week club program, kids will learn the basics, meet new friends, build confidence, and experience rowing in a safe, supportive environment, giving them a real chance to discover if the sport is right for them.
BUILT TO MAKE STARTING EASY
Give your child something to look forward to!
Getting your child into a new sport is a big step, the time, the effort, the cost, and, on top of that, not knowing whether they’ll love it. That’s exactly why we created Rowing Star: to make it easy for your child to get started and easy for you to say yes.
Your Kids Likes it Or You Don't Pay
One of the biggest and most obvious concerns parents have is: “Will my child actually enjoy it, or am I just wasting money again?” With Rowing Star, you don’t have to worry about that, thanks to our 100% money-back guarantee.
You don't need to clear your whole calendar
With multiple weekly sessions to choose from, you pick the 2 that fit around school, other activities, and family life. The program bends to your schedule, not the other way around.
You don't need to worry about safety
Safety comes first in every session. Coaches are always on the water, one with the participants and another in a safety boat. We use stable beginner boats, provide step-by-step guidance, and offer life jackets to anyone who would like one.
Your child doesn't need to be "the athletic one"
Rowing rewards effort and teamwork more than raw talent. Kids who've never found their sport often find rowing is the one where they finally click.
WHY YOUR KID WILL LOVE IT
Here’s how Rowing Star will help your child have an amazing fall.
This program is about much more than just rowing. It’s about teamwork, confidence, friendship, and trying something exciting and new.
Unique way to enjoy the fall!
There are few things more exciting than learning to row on the water during the fall.
Easy to make new friends!
Kids train together, learn together, and take part in fun events that make it easy to connect with others.
Fun and enjoyable sessions!
The sessions are structured, safe, and beginner-friendly, while still feeling like an adventure.
WHY ROWING?
Why should your kid pick rowing over traditional youth sports?
Rowing is one of the best sports a kid can start. It builds resilience, grit, confidence, and teamwork, something that lasts long after the sport itself.
A great way to get out in nature
Rowing gets your kid away from screens and out on the water in a positive, active environment.
A safe, low-impact sport
Rowing is a full-body sport that builds strength and endurance while being relatively low-risk for injuries.
Every kid competes, nobody rides the bench.
In most team sports, kids sit out, get cut, or fight for playing time. In a boat, every seat matters and every kid is on the water every single session.
Starting late isn't a disadvantage, it's normal.
In most sports, a kid who's never played is years behind by high school. In rowing, nearly everyone starts in middle or high school. Your kid isn't behind, they're right on time.
A safe, low-impact, full, body sport.
Real strength and endurance, gentle on growing joints, and far lower injury risk than contact sports.
It builds something they keep for life.
Because of the nature of the sport, rowing develops resilience, grit, confidence, and perseverance, the kind of character that stays with kids long after they're done rowing.
A real path to college.
The ultimate team sport
In rowing, everyone in the boat must work together. Kids learn communication, responsibility, and how to be part of a team.
A sport that prepares your child for adulthood.
Rowing builds not only physical strength but also mental strength, developing resilience, grit, confidence, and perseverance like few other sports.
Far fewer kids row than play football or basketball, which can make rowing one of the least crowded paths to a college team.
