Rowing has been deemed the ultimate team sport. It emphasizes not only individual performance but working together as a unit to achieve specific goals. Rowing requires commitment and mental and physical discipline. LOCR is a successful and competitive junior program that does not require any previous rowing experience to participate. LOCR is available to any student athlete grades 8-12 that is looking for a challenging team environment.
The Junior Rowing Team practices Monday through Friday from 4-6 PM. We have a Fall racing season, Winter training season, and a Spring racing season. We highly encourage our athletes to commit to all 3 seasons, but do not require it. The dates of our season are as follows:
Fall Season - September 7th - November 12th
Winter Season - November 15th - February 18th (except Winter Break Dec. 17th - Jan 3th)
Spring Season - February 21nd - May 15th (Post Season May 18th - June14th)
During the Fall and Spring racing seasons the team travels to regattas around the Northwest. On the Junior Schedule
page of this website you can see the dates and locations of our
regattas. As any of our athletes will tell you, regattas are a blast!
The athletes form lasting bonds with their teammates on these trips.
Meeting the challenges of competition with focus and resolve, our
athletes learn a great deal about themselves and teammates. Win or
lose, our team focuses on learning from each result and strives to
achieve the goals they have set for themselves. We welcome anyone that
is eager to work hard and take part in these endeavors.
LOCR
