WE will update this page when the next LTR is Scheduled – likely spring 2026
Our learn-to-row days are a great chance to try out the sport in a relaxed and fun environment!
These are not the same as our try-outs at the beginning of the seasons. If you are looking to register for a season please see our Registration, Season, and Dues Information above.
Come try the ultimate team sport where hard work is rewarded, you don’t need any experience, and in a few short years you can be competing on a national level. Be sure to check out our FAQ’s page for more information about the sport and our seasons. All the information and sign-up is below.
We are looking for two kinds of athletes:
Rowers – You have never done a sport, or you have tried other sports and haven’t found your spot, or you are just looking for a new sport, give rowing a try and see where it takes you. Anyone can try. Those that keep going fall in love with the water, the feel of the boat, and the love of working so closely with teammates towards a common goal. Even if this doesn’t sound like you today, it could be in the future! Rowing is a power/endurance sport, characteristics that can be achieved with discipline, determination, and a desire to work.
Coxswains – Boys and Girls under 110 lbs (in high school) – Coxswains play a vital role in rowing. The ideal coxswain is loud and confident with strong organization skills and the ability to multi-task. These skills come naturally to some while others can achieve them with a desire to learn and improve. This is a great LEADERSHIP opportunity for athletes who may not be big enough to play another sport.
Our Learn-to-Row clinics, coached by the Unionville Crew staff and current athletes are a great way to learn all about rowing and discover if the sport is right for you. We will teach you the basic rowing stroke on the ergometer (erg, rowing machine) and in a boat on the water. Both boys and girls are welcome.
