Triangle Rowing Club fields competitive men's and women's high school rowing teams at the novice and varsity levels. The novice designation applies to athletes in their first year of competitive rowing in high school.
High school athletes practice 5-6 days a week and compete in local, regional, and national competitive events.

The high school program is designed to introduce youth athletes to rowing and help them develop the skills needed for competition. During the fall season, athletes participate in head races—endurance events typically spanning close to 5,000 meters. In the spring, the focus shifts to sprints, which are shorter, high-intensity races covering 1,500 to 2,000 meters. Although the program primarily emphasizes large boats, TRC rowers compete in both sculling and sweep disciplines.
Practices take place five to six days a week during the season and involve comprehensive training including on-water practice, rowing machines (ergs), land conditioning, and other forms of cardio. Our well-rounded athletes also participate in off-season training in the Summer and Winter.
Students become eligible for the High School program when they enter ninth grade. Most spend their first competitive year as novices before advancing to the varsity level in subsequent seasons.
Many TRC rowers have gone on to compete at the collegiate level, with some earning athletic scholarships to prestigious universities across North America. See our alumni page for more.
