HAWKS ROWING CAMPS
for Girls

At the Robert M. Gillin, Jr. Boathouse, Home of Saint Joseph’s University

 

MONDAY AUGUST 10TH

TO

THURSDAY AUGUST 13TH

The emphasis of the 2009 Hawks Rowing Camp is the personal development of the whole athlete in preparation for the collegiate and/or HS Varsity rowing experience.  We have designed our camp to enhance and develop all aspects of the sport for girls who intend to row or cox at the college level.  We limit our number of campers to maximize coaching and teaching.

 

We will teach techniques to use our bodies more efficiently on the water, in the weight room, and on the erg.  These techniques will translate to faster times on the water, better erg times and injury prevention.

The Pre-Collegiate/Varsity Camp

Our goal for the Hawks Rowing Camp is to better the athlete’s understanding of the sport.  This understanding will be vital in adapting to new rowing styles, new training philosophies, and new approaches to the sport that the athletes will face in making the move from High School athletics to collegiate athletics.

 

Daily activities will include long technical rows on the Schuylkill each day in Eights, Fours and possibly small boats honing the rowing technique and developing a better understanding of what makes the boat move.  We will review video tape of our training sessions to increase our understanding of efficiency. Coxswains will get instruction on all aspects of coxing –including but not limited to helping teammates improve technique and comfort in the boat as well as identifying boat needs and solutions, rigging and racing.

 

Our daily presentations will include topics of weight training, nutrition, endurance training, racing, stretching, rigging, coxing and more.

 

If you are hoping to row or cox in college in the next year or two – this is the camp for you.

 

 

 

The Beginners’ Camp

The Beginners’ Camp will be run simultaneously with the Experienced Camp and will focus on the basics of the sport of rowing.  We will introduce the equipment, technique, and of course take a lot of strokes on the river.

 

If you are looking to join your high school team-this will give you a great head start.
