Back-to-Back Point Trophy

RSR Elite at Summer Nationals

The Ready Set Row difference

Fitness gets you to the start line. Courage gets you across the finish.

Every rower wants to know how to row faster. More meters help — but athletes who keep improving also have sharp technique, a plan behind their training, and a mind that holds steady in the third 500. We train all three, together, every day.

01

Technical skill

Sharp catches, powerful drives, clean finishes and a stroke that holds together at race pace, on the water and on the erg.

02

Physical Fitness

Purposeful rowing training, plus strength and mobility work that builds power and helps keep you healthy and injury free.

03

Mental Fortitude

RSR Mental Skills training for nerves, pressure, and discomfort, so you can choose courage when fear shows up.

Find Your Path

Pick the challenge that fits where you're headed.

Building your base, chasing a faster 2K, or getting ready for college recruiting — there's a program built for your next step.

For Parents

High standards for your athlete.
Peace of mind for you.

Serious athletes need to be pushed. They also need to be safe, supported, and treated as whole people. Our coaches expect a lot — and take good care of the young person doing the work.

  • Coaching that develops mind, body, and character, not just erg scores

  • Mental skills training for performance anxiety, pressure, and setbacks

  • Background-checked staff, with health, safety, and conduct policies available on request

  • The skills, fitness, and race experience that matter in college rowing recruiting

“[The camp] takes a holistic approach and truly cares about these young athletes: mind, body, and soul.”

— RSR Elite Parent

What Families Say

“Thank you for creating a program that challenges kids, supports them, keeps them safe, focuses on the whole person, helps them grow and reassures parents before, during and afterward.”

— Tara Moore, RSR Elite parent

Sport is one of the best ways for young people to build confidence and learn to do hard things. The confidence gained training through discomfort goes with them to school, work, and life.

The RSR SEE Framework

Love The Fight

Brave doesn't mean you aren't afraid. It means you act anyway. SEE is how our athletes learn to seek challenge in spite of fear — and turn every hard piece into growth.

BRAVE YOUR 2K
BRAVE YOUR 2K

S

Seek Challenge.

Apply for the racing camp, train with faster athletes, or go after the test piece you're nervous about. That's where growth starts.

E

Expect Discomfort.

The burn in the last 500 isn't a stop sign and it should not be a surprise. Expect it and learn to work through it.

E

Mental Fortitude

RSR Mental Skills training for nerves, pressure, and discomfort, so you can choose courage when fear shows up.

Common Questions

Rowing camps & coaching FAQ

Have other questions? A coach can answer questions about your athlete specifically.

Talk to a Coach

What happens at a Ready Set Row rowing camp?

You'll row or erg twice a day, get focused technique coaching on the water and the erg, and work on mental skills every day with our rowing coaches. You'll also train with athletes who want to work as hard as you do. Our athletes go home fitter, faster, and more confident.

How can I learn how to row faster?

Getting faster comes from three things working together: cleaner technique, smart rowing training to increase fitness and power, and a mind that stays steady under pressure. Our rowing camps and clinics focus on one skill at a time, and virtual erg coaching gives you 1:1 technical and strategic feedback wherever you train.

Can Ready Set Row help with college rowing recruiting?

We prepare athletes for the next level. Our rowing camps and coaching build the technique, erg fitness, race experience, and composure that matter in college rowing recruiting. Campus-based camps also show athletes what college rowing life feels like.

Who are RSR rowing camps for?

Our camps are for teen rowers with at least one season of experience who are ready to be challenged. Athletes must be able to swim. Age and experience requirements vary by camp. RSR Elite, for example, is for male and female rowers ages 13–22. Check each program's page for details.

Do you offer rowing training outside of camp?

Yes. Virtual rowing coaching and training gives you personalized guidance all year, Brave Your 2K is virtual mindset coaching over several weeks in January each year and the RSR Boathouse membership community keeps you connected and growing between camps and seasons.

Who are the Ready Set Row rowing coaches?

Our coaches and mentors raced at the collegiate or higher evel and have been coaching rowing athletes since 2015, more than 800 so far. They teach technique, training, and mental skills together, because a fast boat needs all three.
