middle school rowing
School Year Programming
The West Side Rowing Club Middle School Program is open to athletes in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade who are interested in learning about rowing and exploring Buffalo’s waterfront.
The Middle School program is designed as a learn to row program rather than a competitive racing program.
The West Side Rowing Club offers a summer rowing camp for ages 11-16. Crew Camp is a great way to try out the sport and see if it’s a good fit. It’s also a great opportunity to make friends and try something new!
Summer Programming
junior rowing
The West Side Rowing Club High School Program is open to athletes in 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade who attend a high school that does not have it’s own rowing program.

School Year Programming
During the Summer every junior athlete competes for the Club team, regardless of school affiliation. Teams are separated into aged based categories of U17 and U19 teams or competitive sculling.
Teams will compete at both U.S. and Canadian Regattas.
