MRC Junior Team
Schedule & Team Fees
In order to row with the MRC Junior Team, there are two separate fees. Club membership dues are paid annually. In addition to membership, there is a seasonal program fee due for each season a rower participates. The Junior Team has three rowing seasons, spring, summer, and fall. Program fees do not automatically renew as there is no obligation for continued participation.
Season program fees may either be paid in full or there is an Installment Plan option to pay over time.
First time rowers with the MRC Junior Team should select the Juniors Novice Team for the first season only in which they row. The
additional cost of the Juniors Novice Team includes a MRC racing tank which is required to compete at regattas. Following completion of their Novice season, all returning rowers should register for the Juniors Varsity Team. For example, members of the Juniors Novice Team during the summer who wish to continue rowing should register for the Juniors Varsity Team for the fall season.
