Novice Team

For first-year rowers who have completed LPBC's Learn to Row program.

The novice rowing team is for athletes who have just finished a learn-to-row class or are in their first year of rowing.

After completing a Learn to Row class, athletes have the option to continue rowing and training with the Novice Rowing Team.

The Novice Rowing Team is for both competitive and recreational rowers. . The team meets three times a week and athletes are given additional workouts to do on their own. The path from Learn to Row to the Competitive Rowing Team goes through the Novice Rowing Team, with novices moving up to the Intermediate or Competitive Team when appropriate.. The program is structured to acclimate a new rower to the Competitive Team’s training plan.

Individuals who have completed a Learn to Row class can join the Novice Team at either the Park 571 Boathouse in Bridgeport or the Lincoln Park Boat House. Prospective team members are welcome (and encouraged) to join us for a few practices at either boathouse location. Please don’t hesitate to contact our coaches to get started!
