Beach Sprint Pathways Development Camp

USRowing is thrilled to host our first Beach Sprint Pathways Development Camp at Tabor Academy in Massachusetts in August 2026. Open to all audiences, the camp is designed to introduce athletes to the Beach Sprints pathway and provide opportunities for rowers of all ages to experience the discipline. Sculling experience is required.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Training will take place August 2–5, followed by competition at the 2026 USRowing Beach Sprint Trials, Speed Order, and National Championships from August 6–9. Athletes will stay at Tabor Academy for the entirety of the week, with transportation provided to and from the beach each day for training and racing.

While prior sculling experience is required, athletes will receive instruction from some of the top Beach Sprint coaches in the country through a combination of classroom sessions and detailed on-water training. Athletes will learn the fundamentals of Beach Sprint racing, including boat entries and exits, race strategy, and technical skills, while training directly on the National Championships course in preparation for competition.

COST: $2,399 per athlete – this includes meals and housing for the athlete from August 2 - August 6, 2026.

Mission & Vision

The USRowing Pathways Program underscores our dedication to nurturing American rowing talent and provides the resources, coaching, and development pathways required to empower our athletes to become the best in the world.

The Four Pillars of Pathways

Building on Systems
Prioritizing Communication & Transparency
Educating Through Information Sharing & Collaboration
Developing Opportunities for Coaches & Athletes

The Intention Behind Each Pillar

Building on Systems

Within Pathways, this pillar is manifested in the deliberate cultivation of systems and structures that support athlete development. This includes standardized coaching methodologies, training regimens, and performance evaluation criteria that are consistently applied to all participants and stem from the Chief High Performance Officer.

Prioritizing Communication & Transparency

Transparent reporting mechanisms are used to maintain an open dialogue, ensuring that everyone is engaged and aware of their journey. This includes accurate information on USRowing's website, consistent coach and athlete communication, and informational meetings/webinars for key stakeholders.

Educating Through Information Sharing & Collaboration

Pathways is committed to creating an ecosystem where knowledge is shared freely. Coaches, athletes, and support staff collaborate to exchange insights, best practices, and innovations. Workshops, seminars, and mentorship programs are employed to foster continuous learning and professional growth.

Developing Opportunities for Coaches & Athletes

The program seeks to create a rich environment for coaches and athletes alike. Coaches have access to mentorship and professional development opportunities, while athletes benefit from specialized training, individualized performance plans, and resources designed to help them reach their fullest potential.
