Winter Training 2027
Winter Training is open to High School Varsity Athletes and High School Novice Athletes who were on the novice team in the Fall of 2026, or newer athletes who joined GBR during the Youth Holiday Challenge session. We welcome athletes both from Great Bay Rowing and from other teams that may not run their own winter programs. If you are a brand new athlete who is interested in learning how to row this winter, please contact the Rowing Director.
