In the 2010 season, the MJRC will offer the following programs:

Varsity Program:               

The Varsity program will consist of six two-hour practices a week.  Practices will be held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons (from approx 4.00-6.00pm) as well as on Saturday mornings (usually around 10am). Rowers in the racing program will have the chance to travel with the team to away regattas.  This program will be limited and is intended for athletes that are serious about competing at a high level with each other and other teams.  The size of this program may be expanded in future seasons. 

As in previous seasons, due to a limited number of boats/ equipment there will be selection for this program made during the first three weeks of each season.  The team will be selected based on ergometer score, athletic ability/potential, work ethic, attendance and rowing technique at the coaches’ discretion.

Mercer Novice Program:

The Novice Program will meet at the same times as the Varsity Program practices (See above).    This program, which is open to 8th graders and up, will be limited to a certain number of beginner athletes and is for those who wish to participate in rowing six days a week and aspire to be in the Varsity Program.  Novice rowers will follow a separate racing schedule from the varsity squad.  In cases where an athlete shows exceptional improvement they may be moved to the Varsity Program before the end of the season. 

As in previous seasons there will be selection for this program made during the first month of each season.  The team will be selected based on ergometer score, athletic ability/potential, work ethic, attendance and rowing technique at the coaches’ discretion.
