About the Juniors

Philosophy

KCRC's coaches strive to prepare their athletes not only to tackle a 2000 meter sprint course or a long fall head race but also the challenges of growing up in a world that expects so much from them. Character, responsibility, teamwork, honesty, reliability, courage, compassion and humility are not only the ingredients of a good rower and a fast crew but of a happy, successful person.

What We Do :
  • KCRC’s Juniors train for and compete in regattas in the Midwest and occasionally travel further, for example, to Boston, MA
  • Athletes from our program have won scholarships to Division I rowing programs at major universities
  • Our Crews have raced successfully at major regattas such as the Head of the Charles
  • Former KCRC Juniors have gone on to coach their own crews at schools and clubs across the US
  • Our Juniors value honestly earned blisters as much as hard won medals
  • KCRC athletes make friends they’ll keep for a lifetime
