Sculling Programs

COACHED (SUPERVISED) SCULLING

The Coached Sculling Program is open to all MHRA members and includes three coached sessions each week, giving scullers the opportunity to row under the guidance of an experienced coach.

Members may reserve club singles and doubles through SignUpGenius. Members with private shells must also use SignUpGenius to indicate when they plan to row. All sign-ups must be completed by 7:00 PM the evening before to ensure adequate coach coverage. Sculling is not permitted without prior sign-up.

The program begins once the Hudson River water temperature is consistently above 50°F—typically running from mid-May through mid-September.

Competitive Master Scullers

You will find a supportive atmosphere for working out and improving technique with MHRA. On most early mornings during the rowing season, there are many enthusiastic MHRA scullers at the river, to row together, share technique tips and drills, or race one another back to the boathouse. Several of our members compete regularly in masters sculling events in singles and doubles. Sculling scrimmages are held periodically in the summer for local rowers. Scheduling and attending races are up to the individual sculler.
