BCR is happy to announce our second in a series of sculling clinics!
These clinics are intended to benefit our community members who scull by providing technique-oriented clinics on a one-off basis and to encourage the use of independent, smaller boats as a way to get more time on the water and become a better all-around rower.
The clinics are open to BCR members and non-members on a first-come, first-served basis. Scullers may reserve BCR equipment or provide their own boats. Equipment and spaces in the clinic are both limited, so sign up soon!
Information about this and other clinics in the series will be posted on the BCR website ( www.boulderrowing.com/ScullingClinics/) as the details become available. Our goal is to offer at least one a month throughout the rowing season.

- DATES: June 7 and June 8 (attend just one or both)
- TIME: 6-8:30AM
- WHAT:
- June 7: Posture and Position: This clinic will address the entire sculling stroke, with emphasis on correct hand and body positioning for both the drive and the recovery. Using a variety of pause drills, scullers will focus on posture, balance and connection needed for an efficient sculling stroke. Approximately 1.5 hours on the water including video taping, then there will be a one-hour video review.
- June 8: The Catch and Control: The first part will include instruction focused on the "feel" of the catch and efficient power application at the start of the drive. The second part, with an emphasis on ratio, will have scullers focus on hand speed and slide control to further improve the efficiency of the sculling stroke.
