Open Houses
Please send this link out to anyone interested in our rowing programs or promote it on any social media platform that you use! The more people who show up the larger our rowing community can grow! Here is the poster with all dates and times: RowingPoster2018
Mercer Indoor Row for the Cure
March 11th is the Mercer Indoor Row for the Cure! This event will be held at the Peddie School and all proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Novice and Varsity are both expected to row at this event which will begin at 9 AM. Please notify your coach if you are unable to attend!
Spring Registration is OPEN!
Novice rowers (new and returning from Fall) can sign up for the team and varsity rowers should sign up for tryouts. If you were in the 8th grade program this fall you received a link from the coaches for your priority registration, which closed 2/9. We are currently offering spots to the Fall waitlist, remaining spots will be opened to the public on March 1st. Please visit here on the website to find the correct links.
Lightweight Certification
If your child would like to row as a lightweight athlete this spring, they will need to have the Mercer Junior Rowing Lightweight Health Form to their respected coach by March 12 for the spring season. If the athlete doesn’t have the form in they will not be eligible to row as a lightweight for the spring season.
GO MERCER!!!
