Technique Tuesday at Mendota Rowing Club

MRC is offering a new, 6 session program taught by Nancy Jarvis for rowers who would like to have additional early season, technique-intensive coaching in a small group format.  We're calling it "Technique Tuesday".  

When: Tuesdays, April 24 - May 29,  5:25am-7am

Where:  MRC Boathouse

Who:  All rowers who come to morning practices are eligible

Cost:  $90/rower for the 6 sessions, all of which would go to the MRC equipment fund. Contact Fran if you would like scholarship money.

The program accommodates 8 rowers.  First come first serve for sign up.

Each rower must attend all sessions or find a sub.

Sessions will be on the water in an 8+, or on ergs if weather prevents rowing. 

Focus of the sessions will be technical (ie lots of drills, square blade rowing, half boat rowing).

Sessions will be videotaped for subsequent review.
