Fall youth program

PRRA's fall youth program offers sculling and sweep rowing in boats of various sizes. The head coach of the program is Felix DeCarvalho, who is also head coach for Don Bosco Prep.

The 2011 fall youth program runs from September 10 through October 24, with practices held each Monday from 4 to 6 pm, and each Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Participants will train to race at the Head of the Passaic (October 15) and the Head of the Schuylkill (October 29-30).

To register, please fill out the PRRA membership application form and mail it to us together with the program fee of $200. Alternatively, sign up in person at the PRRA boathouse on Saturday, September 10, from 11 am to 1 pm.
