HIGH SCHOOL ROWING
Team Tampa's high school competitive program is offered in the fall and spring on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Athletes get to train on and off the water in order to prepare for races that are offered throughout the year. Athletes develop experience that will help prepare them for their futures. Freshman athletes are provided tank tops to race in. Varsity athletes will be provided with Team Tampa Unisuits. To get more information on joining our team click here!

“Rowing is a sport for dreamers. As long as you put in the work, you can own the dream. When the work stops, the dream disappears.” – Jim Dietz
​
Practice for us is not just for the perfection of technique or the development of physical fitness. It is the building block upon which we build our team philosophy: Hard Work Pays Off. Each and every practice attended is one more that an athlete develops the mental toughness and team bond necessary to compete in the sport of rowing. At our practices we work toward technical mastery, we strive toward peak physical condition, and above all else we ensure that every athlete learns how to be a better team member.
​
Our goal for our competitive athletes is to attend 6 practices a week. However we do allow for flexible schedules to meet all our student athletes needs.
​
If an athlete is going to miss practice please email us at attendance.rowing@gmail.com.
