Starting the week of January 5 SNRC will begin its Winter Training – Phase 2 and Brock Rowing Tank training sessions at the Brock University Rowing Centre. This is an excellent venue (Home of the Brock Badgers Rowing Team!) for our winter training and we will be using both the erg/rowing tank and the weights areas for our training. Our coaches are busy getting the program ready which will provide a great mix of aerobic and strength training workouts along with core, flexibility and balance components to round out the training. Similar to last year, the sessions will be 1.5 hrs in length and will run from 7:30-9:00 pm (Mon-Wed-Fri) through until the end of March. Campus parking (Mon to Fri) at Brock will be a flat rate of $6.00 for any time after 6:00 pm, no matter the lot used. Payment for parking will be via the HONK app https://www.honkmobile.com . Free parking will be available in the Zone 1 Parking Lot on weekends.
The Brock University Leo Leblanc Rowing Centre is located in the rear of the Walker Sports Complex on the ground floor (see attached map). You can enter in the front entrance of the Walker Sports Complex off of University Rd W and then walk up the ramp past the gymnasiums and the food court to the back of the bldg and then down the stairs by the Information Counter and straight to the back of the building. The rowing centre is the last door on the right before you exit the building. For those just dropping off athletes you are welcome to drop them off at the rear entrance to the Walker Complex (Lot Q) which is right beside the rowing centre.
Everyone is welcome to use the main Walker Complex changerooms and lockers which are also right beside the Rowing Centre.
We will have three (3) Winter Training – Phase 2 training options. You can choose whichever option works best with your schedule. I should also note, that for those who may be away for part of the winter, you can purchase these as training packs which can used up based on your availability (up to 3 times per week). Once used up, you can purchase a second training pack (as needed) to complete the winter. Also for Options 1 & 2, you will be allowed to change your training day(s) from week to week but we ask that you let the coaches know the week before.
The following is the pricing for the various training options:
Winter Training – Phase 2 – Evenings – 12 weeks (Jan 5 to Mar 28/26)
• Option 1- 1 training sessions/wk (12 pack) $153.00 (incl HST)
• Option 2 – 2 training sessions/wk (24 pack) $299.00 (incl HST)
• Option 3 – 3 training session/wk (36 pack) $446.00 (incl HST)
This training is for both Adults and Youth (all abilities – from beginner to competitive) and for those athletes that are unable to join your high school team training due to scheduling conflicts/etc., you are more than welcome to join the club sessions. However, please double check with your high school rowing team coaches before registering for this training as most high school athletes will have their winter training sessions after school (Mon to Fri) at their respective school and will only need to register for the Brock Rowing Tank Session option (below).
Brock Rowing Tank sessions will start Saturday January 12/25 with the Youth (U15/U17/U19) on Saturdays from Noon-1:30 pm and the Masters/Adults on Saturdays from 1:30-3:00 pm.
- Brock Rowing Tank Sessions (12 sessions starting Jan 12/25) $96.00 (incl HST)
We ask that all payments be made via e-transfer to payments@rowsnrc.ca and we would also ask that people indicate “Winter Training – Phase 2/Brock Tank Sessions” the in the note with their e-transfer.
Note: Payments are to be made prior to attending your first session.
