Open Board Position |
It is critical that we have a volunteer fill the "Equipment Manager" position by June 6th. At the spring banquet on June 6th, we will be electing board members for the 2013-14 year. Our officers are elected for a two-year term. Any rowing parent is welcome to run for a seat on the board. Board meetings are held once per month, year-round. Attendance is important - although work and travel schedules can be accommodated. We are still in need of a volunteer for Equipment Manager - this person will work with the coaches and other parent volunteers to ensure that NRC's equipment is maintained properly and ready for each season. All expenses are covered by NRC and we have plenty of notes and directions from past seasons. Please contact Karen Heiser, NRC nominations chair, to volunteer or for more information. |
| Your Photos Wanted | We've got great pictures in our Photo Albums! If you take photos at practice, regatta or any rowing activity, please share them with us! We'd like to have as many as possible for this website, banquet and public relations. Please email full size images to Kim Brock. |
Northville Rowing Club (NRC), also called Crew, is a high school co-ed club sport consisting of both men's and women's teams. No prior experience is necessary, all you need is a willingness to learn and a desire to compete!
Rowing is a three season sport with two competitive seasons; Fall and Spring. Fall Season consists of longer races, against the clock and ends in early November. Pracices begin at the end of August. Spring Season is head-to-head competition and runs March through early June. Our main season is spring, but we actively row in the fall and train indoors during winter. Rowers typically join in the fall to learn to row and gain experience, then participate in Winter Conditioning on ergometer (rowing) machines to prepare for spring.
For students who are interested in joining Northville Rowing Club in the fall, but have no rowing experience, we strongly recommend participation in the summer Learn to Row program offered by Ann Arbor Rowing Club. Many of our current rowers started in this program which was very helpful in acclimating them to the sport. Ann Arbor also offers summer programs at more advanced levels for experienced rowers and current team members, including Learn to Scull and Sculling Camp. More information on all AARC programs can be found at a2crew.com.
Goals and Guidelines
• NRC will promote the sport of rowing at Northville High School and will encourage participation of all students.
• NRC will encourage and support the academic achievement of its student athletes.
• NRC coaches will teach teamwork, responsibility, self-discipline and physical well-being.
• NRC coaches will make every effort to ensure that all rowers participate in as many regattas as possible.
• NRC will provide the opportunity for rowers to excel in the sport and be competitive.
- Boats will be composed of rowers that are similar in experience and skill. Rowers will earn their position through dedication, hard work and ability.
- Some regattas will require a minimum qualification to participate: Midwest Championship Regatta and the Michigan Scholastic State Championship Regatta are two examples.
For more information on joining Northville Rowing Club please contact our Membership Coordinator, Karen Butler.
