The IRC Masters Program welcomes dedicated adult rowers of all skill levels and ages. The Masters Program provides an outlet for rowers’ goals by encouraging personal improvement and development in a fun but yet competitive team setting. The Masters program practices four times per week throughout the year, and competes throughout the summer and fall across the Midwest and Nationally.
The Masters Program training plan is designed to improve boat handling and speed, physical fitness and technique in order to compete at national and regional regattas. The IRC Masters program has traditionally emphasized sweep rowing, but will be introducing sculling more throughout the year. IRC has dedicated master’s program coaches who are qualified sweep and sculling instructors.
The Masters program is open only to IRC members. The annual membership fee is $300. The Masters Program fee is an additional $360 for the year. All Masters rowers must be IRC members in good standing. For regattas, additional travel and trailer fees ($10/person) apply, such as lodging, food, entry fees, and gas to haul the trailer. Please see our Membership page for more information on how to become an IRC Member. IRC members can join the masters program on a monthly basis ($50/month) if this works better with your schedule. Please contact Jen (jen@indyrowing.org) about this option or call the office at (317) 327-7100.
Practice is scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6:15pm – 8pm. Practice on Saturday is 9am-11am. Wednesday will be focused on sculling while Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday will be geared towards sweep rowing.
