U19 ID Camps

Camp Description

USRowing will host 14 half-day ID camps at locations across the country. These camps are open to all U19 age eligible athletes and will consist of an on-land program including short distance erg testing, functional movement instruction, national team technical instruction, coxswain specific educational programming and information about USRowing U19 Summer Camps including the 2025 U19 Team Selection Camp.

NEW - Join USRowing for the Last Chance Virtual ID Camp – March 16, 2025! 

USRowing is pleased to offer a Last Chance Virtual ID Camp on March 16, 2025, offering athletes another opportunity to participate in our identification process. This camp will take place on Zoom from 12:00 – 2:00 PM EST. 

This year, we are introducing a virtual option in response to weather-related postponements of several in-person ID camps. The safety of our athletes and staff is our top priority, and we want to ensure that every athlete has the chance to showcase their potential and take the next step in their rowing journey. 

WHAT TO EXPECT:  

• Pathways Presentation: Learn about USRowing summer opportunities and the border goals of the Pathways Program.
• Technical Presentation: We have added a technical model to the curriculum that provides a structured breakdown of key elements that optimize rowing stroke efficiency, focusing on balance, rhythm, power transfer, and boat speed management.
• Coxswain Presentation: A National Team Coxswain will lead a session tailored specifically for coxswains, offering expert insights, strategies, and race-day preparation tips.
• Testing Protocols: USRowing coaches will explain the testing protocols for the 1’ and 100M erg tests. Athletes will then have until 3/21/25 to submit their scores via an online form. These scores will assist USRowing with identifying athletes for summer camps and development opportunities. 

COST: $20 per athlete
