HIGH SCHOOL COMPETITIVE TEAM
LOCR is looking for athletes interested in rowing with a nationally competitive youth team located in the heart of Lake Oswego. LOCR rowing provides an environment that values teamwork and cooperation. Athletes learn valuable life skills that will help them excel in life on and off the water. LOCR puts its members well-being first with an athlete centered coaching style. This approach encourages an atmosphere of positivity, physical and mental growth, camaraderie, and trust.
Rowing is a unique sport that offers high intensity competition with low risk of injury. Rowing offers an alternative to traditional sports, while still letting you earn a varsity letter and compete at the highest levels of club sports. Rowers are considered novice during first year and advance to varsity squad after completion of their novice year. Through a partnership with the local high schools, varsity athletes have an opportunity to “letter” just as they would in a sport offered through their school.
Our most important competitive season is in the Spring, although LOCR rowers train year round. Fall season is a chance to build cardiovascular strength and refine technical fundamentals. Winter training takes place in the LOCR indoor facility, building strength and endurance to prepare for Spring racing. During Spring season, LOCR competes at some of the most competitive regattas in the Pacific Northwest. Spring season finishes up with racing at the USRowing Northwest Youth Championships, a qualifying event for the USRowing Youth National Championships. Team practice is daily after school from 4:15-6:30pm and Saturday morning from 7:30-10am. No practice held on federal holidays, but practice is held on no-school days. First day of practice begins Monday, August 27th.
Notable Achievements:
2018 Men’s Lightweight 2x 17th in country
2017 Men’s 2x 16th in country
2015 Men’s 4x 8th in country
