Welcome to IRC Junior Rowing, Summer 2025

The summer rowing program for 2025 will be somewhat different than it has been in the past. It will be a 6-week program open to all experienced junor rowers. This includes current 8th graders who will be moving up to the junior program in the fall, as well as current seniors who will be preparing for their collegiate experiences. Practices will begin the week of June 2nd and run through the week of July 7th. The summer session will culminate with our attendance at the Chicago Sprints, July 11 - 13. Summer practices will be held weekdays at 6:30am. We will not be holding weekend or afternoon practices this summer. All athletes (red & black, men and women) will be practicing concurrently with coaches creating lineups daily based on attendance and goals. This is a great opportunity for athletes interested in moving up to the black team in the fall to get an opportunity to practice with more experienced crews!
