The SLRC Junior program is made up of 60-100 boys and girls from metro-area high schools. The goals of the SLRC Junior program are to:
- Provide a competitive, fun, and safe rowing opportunity for St. Louis area high school students
- Increase the number of students participating, in line with available resources
- Foster a life-long interest in rowing in the students who participate
- Participate and place in high-caliber regional and national rowing events, such as the Midwestern Championships and Youth Nationals.
Rowing is a year-round sport consisting of fall, winter, spring, and summer seasons. Generally, high school students start rowing when school begins in September; however, summer youth camps are offered for students wishing to start early. Year-round participation is encouraged for serious athletes, although some of our rowers pursue other sports during one rowing season.
The SLRC Boosters committee was created specifically to support the SLRC Junior rowing program; its members are the parents of the current Junior team members. Boosters activities include coordinating travel plans for the Juniors, providing chaperones and drivers for trips, conducting fund-raising activities specifically related to the Junior program, providing awards and recognition banquets and, in a variety of other ways, assisting the coaches in their work with the Juniors.
