Youth Race Fees - Spring 2026
$325.00

To purchase a race fee package, you must be enrolled on the youth team. Race fees cost the program a significant amount and we are now charging a separate racing fee for those rowers who wish to race. In addition to this, those rowers racing are required to purchase a Rockland Rowing uniform. Food and drinks at races are provided by the parent group.

This spring we will be trying something new and renting a bus for the team, as well as securing all hotel rooms for rowers (multiple rowers to a room), for the USRowing Northeast Championships in Mercer. This is the reason for the large increase in race fees for this spring. We will collect feedback on this after the season to determine if we should do this more often.

Please note these fees do not include any fees incurred for USRowing Youth Nationals which are charged separately.
