What you NEED to know!
We are a co-ed club that participates in both the Fall and Spring competitive seasons. While we like performing well and expanding the reputation of SJU/CSB Crew, we stress camaraderie and having fun as the main goals for the seasons.
Here are some of the more important aspects of our team:
- No Coach
That's right, students are responsible for recruitment, participation, & training.
- No Experience Necessary
Most of the novice members of the team have little or no experience, but quickly gain the advanced techniques in Sweep Rowing and Coxing
- Emphasis on Technique
With the limited amount of on-the-water training, we focus our coaching strategies on technique and form. Endurance and strength training are aspects of our dry-land workouts.
- We are a Club Sport
Team members retain a competitive edge with the realization that we simply do not have the resources needed to train and compete at an extreme level. We are racing against Division 1 & 2 schools that spend upwards of 5 hours per day on training. This does however give an extreme sense of satisfaction when we bury the competition in our wake!
