White Rock Boathouse Juniors currently recruiting for the Fall Season.  We are looking for 8th - 12th graders who are looking for a spring or fall sport.  The Juniors Team is looking for athletes of all shapes and sizes to join our growing team and compete this spring all over Texas and Oklahoma.  This is the perfect sport even if you have never been part of an athletic team before.  There is absolutely no experience necessary to be part of our team, just a desire to become faster and have a great time on the water.

Founded in 2007, WRB Juniors is a 501(c) 3 based on White Rock Lake in East Dallas and specializes in teaching teenagers to row with the intent of helping them use the sport and their success within the sport to get into colleges and universities in the United States. 50% of our 2009 graduating class went on to row in college at schools like Cornell University and Texas A&M Galveston.  In 2009, our teams also brought home 47 medals from various competitions and had our first bids to nationals.

For young girls at this time, 84 Division 1 Programs and 15 Division 2 Programs are offering scholarships to girls in high schools all over the country and abroad.  These scholarships are more accessible to girls who have already demonstrated success as rowers, either in individual achievement or outstanding performance as a member of many team boats.  Current members of our Varsity Women’s Squad have received scholarship offers from University of Oklahoma, Tulsa State, Alabama State, University of Texas, and Central Florida.  They have also been contacted by other programs showing interest in these girls.

Unlike women’s rowing, men’s rowing is not traditionally a scholarshiped sport.  However, you can find programs around the United States that do offer preferred admission, preferred financial aid and from time to time there are programs that do offer scholarships.  Men’s rowing like women’s rowing have opportunities for athletes of all sizes.  Our graduates of the Men’s team have gone on to row at Cornell and Texas A&M Galveston. 

Scholarships available for those who qualify.  We will not turn away anyone that wants to row but may not be able to afford it.  We strive to have rowing available for every teen that wants to be part of our team.  Hurry before registration ends on September 10, 2010.  More information is available on our website www.wrbjuniors.com or you can e-mail our head coach directly at coaching@whiterockboathouse.com.  Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our programs.

Come be part of our team this spring and experience what it’s like to fly on water. We look forward to having you be part of our teams in 2010.
