Welcome to the
Farmington Valley Rowing Association!
Welcome back to our continued members and to new rowers we are excited to have you join us. I expect the season to be full of morning and evening rows with competitive boats, novice groups and recreational rowers all having fun. I cannot forget the scullers, who are growing in number, darting around in singles, doubles and even the quad! To all of you, I hope you enjoy a great season.
FVRA's Spring Season is just around the corner so now is the time to join.
For more information, please email us at info@fvra.org
Not everybody wins, and certainly not everybody wins all the time. But once you get into your boat and push off, tie into your shoes and bootstretchers, then lean on the oars, you have indeed won far more than those who have never tried.

Novice Clinics 2008
Interested in Rowing?
We have excellent novice clinics that are 7 sessions total on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30 with one Saturday session at 8-9:30am. We run clinics in June, July and August. There are 8 openings per clinic.
We row on the beautiful Farmington River with wonderful scenery, beavers, deer in the mornings, and blue herons and white osprey. The boat is an 8 person boat with a coxswain as the “driver”. You are instructed by a qualified coach who provides step by step instruction to help you build your skills. The clinics include training on a rowing machine called an “erg”. The ergs are a good way to work on technique.
