TYRA offers several summer camps in June/July and more in August (info to come) for athletes to try the sport before joining the competitive team. Camps are open to rising 7th-rising 12th graders. Submit your questions to vanja@okrowing.org
TYRA Competitive Team
The novice team is comprised of athletes in their first year of competitive rowing. A student athlete can row in novice events for the first twelve months of their competitive rowing career. When a rower has one year of competitive experience, they become a varsity rower. Novice rowers participate in all of the events and races during the year. The varsity team is composed of athletes who have one year or more of competitive rowing experience and participate in all of the regattas and events during a calendar year.
The competitive team trains throughout the year from August to May. In the event that varsity rowers qualify for nationals in May they continue to train through to the middle of June.
For more information about the competitive team please email vanja@okrowing.org
