Here’s your chance to spend some time on the water and experience rowing first hand.
Students who will be attending Justice High School (any grade) in the 2021-2022 school year or those who will be 7th or 8th graders (any school) and live within the Justice High School boundaries are invited to a three-day Learn-To-Row at Sandy Run Regional Park July 26-28 from 9:00 AM–noon. No experience is required — it’s a fun, free experiential event.
You are Ready to Row in 4 Steps
- Complete a waiver (download PDF here). Requires a parent or guardian signature. Print, complete, sign, and email the waiver to Justice High School Rowing Boosters no later than July 16.
- Complete a sports physical form. Fill out in part by your doctor. All signatures and parts of forms must be complete. Scan & email your completed physical form to Mr. Berg (pdf format preferred).
- Complete an emergency care form. Print, complete, sign, and email the form to Justice High School Rowing Boosters.
- Pass a short swim test, which will be conducted at Providence Rec Center in early July.
Where
The three-day Learn-To-Row event will take place at Sandy Run Regional Park, the location of our boathouse. Click here for printable directions or here for Google maps.
What to Wear, Items to Bring
Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing (think leggings or spandex and a t-shirt) and bring sunscreen, a pair of socks, and at least a 32 oz. refillable water bottle. But not too large — the water bottle needs to fit in the boat. You might also want to pack a change of clothes, a towel, and hair ties in a backpack or sports bag that will hold your smart phone, headphones, and house keys to keep valuables safe on land in the boathouse.
