Our competitive teams are consistently ranked as some of the top in the country. We strive to offer our rowers the best coaches, equipment & team culture as well as an exciting, fun & challenging environment where they can learn to row, grow their love of the sport, and compete at the highest levels. Our rowers have graduated to row in collegiate programs across the country and internationally, and have even gone on to win gold in the Olympics. We’re very proud of our past - click here to register for our new Alumni Program! - and hope you can be part of our future!

Seasons and Programs

Summer

Summer

The sun is shining, school is out, and it's the best time to learn a new sport or improve your skills! Our experienced coaching staff, guest coaches from around the world as well as returning alumni are here to work with both new athletes and those who want to hone their skills.

We offer many different programs during the summer:

  • Learn-to-Row
  • Summer Swing!
  • Competitive Team
  • Competitive Extension (Canadian Henley)

Contact us about what we are offering, follow us on Instagram, or "like us" on Facebook to see updates and the latest news from MRC. 

Fall

Fall

Fall is a beautiful time to row. The season starts warm with our rowers wearing tank tops and shorts as they watch the changing of colors on the Cooper River, and ends in mid-November with the potential for early snow, coaches and athletes dressed in layers. We offer both a competitive season and non-competitive classes.

Competitive Team: This is for returning and new-to-rowing 8th-12th graders who want to bond with teammates while learning about themselves and their capabilities. The season starts in early September and runs through mid-November. Practices are six days a week. The emphasis for the fall season is learning and improving technique on the water. And of course, there will be racing!

Middle School Program: We offer non-competitive classes for 6th-8th grade athletes who want to learn or improve their rowing technique. These classes will be held both on land and in the water. Love of the sport while learning is the main focus.

NEW! Alumni Program: This program was created for our alumni to take part in their love of rowing, whether for practice or pleasure - we can't wait to see you on the water again! 

Winter/Spring

Winter/Spring

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

Our Winter/Spring season is the busiest for MRC. We run our competitive season for athletes in grades 8-12 along with our non-competitive Middle School Program (MSP) for those in grades 6-8. Those in 8th grade can choose between the competitive team or the MSP. 

Competitive Team: This program starts in early December and runs through mid-May. Attendance at practice is mandatory - rowing with MRC's Competiive Team is a six-day-a-week commitment. This is where our motto of Love, Trust, Hard Work really shines!

Options for registering for our Competitive Team:

  • Full Program (Winter/Spring): The vast majority of our athletes register for this program. This properly prepares them for the race season in the spring.
  • Spring Only: This is for select athletes who are involved in a winter sport already and may not have the time to come to our winter training practices. We encourage these athletes to come to as many practices as possible during the winter to "check-in" with the coaches. Your athlete MUST be approved by the Program Director to take this route; it is only for special circumstances. You must contact Marisa Cohen & Cait Leggett at mrc.coopercommodores@gmail.com to discuss this possibility.

Middle School Programs: For those new to the sport or who want to learn more about rowing, we offer recreational programs during the winter and spring months, focusing on the basics of rowing and refining technique including proper erg use, cross-training, and water time in the spring - plus a fun introduction to MRC's culture! These programs are open for students in grades 6-8. New to this winter is a Winter Conditioning Program in January - get a jump on the New Year!
