The goal of the Novice Program is to provide coaching for beginning rowers in their first year out of lessons. Instruction will be provided in both recreational singles and in multi-seat boats and will include how to get back into a single shell.

The Novice Program will meet in conjunction with the Intermediate Program on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 5:30-7:00 AM, June 3 - September 25, 2008. The cost of the 2008 program is $175, and online payment/program registration will is available.  Membership is also required. Participants in the Novice Program have priority for use of novice boats on the mornings the program meets.

Intra-club competitions dubbed the "Friday Friendlies" will be held at 5:30 a.m. on Fridays, May 9 - August 29 with 1000m and longer pieces.   Friday Friendlies are open to everyone in the club whether you are in a coached program or not.  So, come out and join us!

The Head Coach of the Novice/Intermediate programs is Grace Malacrida: "I am a certified US Rowing Level II coach. I have taught Beginner Lessons; coached Juniors and Master Rowers.  I learned to sweep row at Rutgers University in 1981, and am a current competitive rower both on the water and on the "dreaded" erg.  I am completely addicted to the sport and am looking forward to coaching this summer."

Assistant coach Kati O'Hara learned to row with the University of Kansas in the late 80's, and then went on to help the brand new University of Colorado crew while in graduate school in 93-94 as a competitor and coach. Kati joined RMRC in '98 and has been competing on the water across the country ever since.  In addition, Kati has taught taekwondo for a number of years and sells real estate when not coaching!
