Our Winter/Spring season is the busiest for CJRC. We run our competitive season for athletes in grades 8-12 along with our non-competitive Developmental Team for those in grades 6-12. 

Competitive Team: This program starts in early December and runs through mid-May. There is a 3-week tryout period for new CJRC members. 

Attendance at practice is mandatory! Rowing with CJRC's Competitive Team is a 6 day/week commitment. This is where our motto of AMOR FIDE LABORE really shines!

Options for registering for our Competitive Team:

• Full Program (Winter/Spring): The vast majority of our athletes register for this program. This properly prepares them for the racing season in the spring.
• Spring Only: This is for select athletes who are involved in another high-intensity winter sport and may not have the time to come to our winter training practices. We encourage these athletes to come to as many practices as possible during the winter to "check-in" with the coaches. Your athlete MUST be approved by the Program Director to take this route; it is only for special circumstances. You must contact mrc.coopercommodores@gmail.com to discuss this possibility.

Developmental Team & Programs: Our non-competitive DevTeam is great for those new to crew and interested in getting a jumpstart on their rowing career, as well as those athletes looking for the opportunity to hone their rowing skills and focus on fine-tuning their technique. Your athlete can join the DevTeam at the recommendation of a CJRC coach, or without previous rowing experience — it's also a great continuation of what was learned in MRC/SJRC/CJRC's Learn to Row camps and Middle School Programs. Our coaches will teach your athlete everything they need to know!
