It features excellent ratios and one on one coaching with top assistant and head collegiate or national team coaches and coxswains. There is a built-in coxswain development camp with a curriculum built by Olympians meant to enable coxswains to teach themselves once they return to their home program. We aim to educate and inspire athletes regarding their possibilities in the sport.

    Coxswains Only Camp - Oklahoma City, OK

    An advanced camp where coxswains are the exclusive focus. Sparks rents the facilities, equipment, and rowers for the camp – thus allowing us to focus on coaching coxswains through everything from docking to head racing turns during our time together. Our coxswain coaching philosophy is to give coxswains enough perspective to allow them to leave camp able to teach themselves through the coming season, and, as a result, the intellectual intensity of this camp (and the coxswains) is very high.

    Cost: $2,250

    New Zealand Development Program

    A five-week intensive training program aimed at providing athletes ownership of their rowing and an eye as to how it plays into their personal development. This program is for upperclassmen and rising college freshman. Athletes generally train ten times a week, perform community service once per week working with students with special needs, and go on at least one outing a week to experience New Zealand’s incredible landscape. This program has a selective application process and there are only 16 slots. The number is capped in order to better integrate rowers into Kiwi culture and maintain focus on the training.
