REGISTER YOUR INTEREST NOW FOR 2025
Ready Set Row ® is built of strong women - coaches, mentors and guest speakers - who teach tools for distress tolerance, how to manage performance anxiety and how to step forward bravely in the face of fear.
We prioritize female leadership and mental-skills training such that athletes not only develop as faster rowers, but more importantly, they grow in their overall capacity to meet life's challenges. RSR athletes are empowered with new confidence, self awareness, resilience, and courage.
Our mission at RSR is to build strong, brave and resilient women through the sport of rowing.
ANd we also like to make boats go fast!
RSR Elite 2024 won the marion D. Ventura womens point Trophy for the second year in a row!
And we also have fun!
