THE CORE PROGRAM - PARTICIPATION & APPROPRIATE COMPETIION

Through the hard work of our volunteers, our general program at MCCRC has a focus on participation followed by competition at the appropriate level. Boys learn to row and then train to compete. Competition is primarily in local regattas on Lake Burley Griffin. The end of the season culminates in an excursion to the NSW Schoolboy Head of the River at Sydney International Rowing Centre (SIRC), Penrith. The ordinary course of a rower’s progression is:

1. Learning to row
2. Training to compete
3. Competing at:

  • Local club regattas (Canberra)
  • ACT Championships and ACT Head of the Lake (Canberra)
  • NSW Schoolboys Head of the River (Penrith)

LEARN TO ROW & COX PROGRAM
New rowers will particiapate in the learn to row & cox program. Participation in Regatta's commences from Year 7.  Boys will learn valuiable skills and valuable skills that will provide an excelent basis for competitive rowing in continuing years.

TRAINING

The training commitment required is two afternoons per week, Satruday mornings and participation in local and interstate regattas (if selected). The competition season runs from October to March.
