About Middle School

RowAmerica Rye’s Middle School Program introduces young athletes to the sport of rowing in a fun, structured, and supportive environment. Our goal is to teach proper technique, build teamwork, and foster a lasting love for the sport while preparing athletes to row competitively in high school.

Sessions are age-appropriate and led by experienced coaches who create a positive, energetic atmosphere for all levels of fitness and ability. We offer programming year-round — with on-water rowing in the spring, summer, and fall, and indoor training during the winter season.

Programs are divided by grade level to ensure athletes learn and progress at the right pace.

6th Grade

Our 6th Grade group introduces athletes to the basics of rowing through hands-on instruction and teamwork-focused activities. Athletes learn boat handling, safety, and the fundamentals of rowing technique — all while building confidence and having fun on the water.

7th Grade

The 7th Grade group continues developing skills learned in earlier sessions, with an emphasis on improving technique, building endurance, and understanding how to row effectively as part of a crew. Practices are engaging and challenging, helping athletes gain experience and confidence on the water.

8th Grade

The 8th Grade group prepares athletes for the transition to competitive high school rowing. Practices focus on refining technique, developing strength and fitness, and introducing race-style training in a supportive team setting. Rowers gain the foundation and mindset needed to succeed at the next level.

Summer Camps

RowAmerica Rye’s Middle School Summer Rowing Camps are a great way for athletes to build skills, stay active, and experience the fun of rowing during the summer months. Our week-long camps welcome all experience levels, from first-timers to returning rowers, and focus on learning technique, teamwork, and confidence on the water — all while enjoying the beautiful setting of Milton Harbor.
