Rowing RoadCrew (Certified Rowing Education Workshops) is our bring-it-to-you educational division, the "on-the-road workshops on all things rowing" program. We teach trailering, safety, boat and oar repair...whatever your club or school needs to know, we'll try and bring a clinic to your region.
 
The Road Crew conducts hands-on workshops with demos, manuals, DVDs, and scale models, using all the tools available to bring the lesson home. We teach the coach, the rower, the crew booster, the club administrator.

See Calendar of Events page for dates and locations of workshops.

All workshops include handouts, checklists, and manuals. USRowing Instructional DVDs included as available.
