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.
