RSR Elite Girls 2024
June 17-July 16, 2024
We are planning RSR Elite 2024 and camp applications are open!
Ready Set Row ® is built of strong women - coaches, mentors and guest speakers - who teach tools for distress tolerance, how to manage performance anxiety and how to step forward bravely in the face of fear.
We prioritize female leadership and mental-skills training such that athletes not only develop as faster rowers, but more importantly, they grow in their overall capacity to meet life's challenges. RSR athletes are empowered with new confidence, self awareness, resilience, and courage.
Our mission at RSR is to build strong, brave and resilient women through the sport of rowing.
ANd we also like to make boats go fast!
RSR Elite 2023 won the marion D. Ventura womens point Trophy!
And we also have fun!

Open to any interested athletes - limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender. Mental skills are practiced daily and you will spend 7-10 hours per week building your mental game. And most importantly, we have fun!
Where: University of alabama, Tuscaloosa
All camp athletes train at the Boathouse at Manderson Landing utilized by the University of Alabama Varsity Rowing Team. We will row 8+, 4+, 4X, 4-, 2X, 2- and 1X on the Black Warrior River. The Black Warrior River is a fresh river with minimal boat traffic located at the north end of campus.
Athletes and coaches will stay in a University of Alabama dorm on campus (walkable to the boathouse) and erg on campus. Athletes will stay in double rooms that are equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave in each room.
All athletes will travel to Oklahoma City to compete at the Summer National Championships (USRowing RowFest).
When: June 17 - July 16, 2024
All athletes train for three weeks and then travel with the team to the Summer National Championships (USRowing RowFest) and compete. All athletes compete and depart directly from the National Championship.
Cost: $8500 includes all room, board, hotel, regatta fees and transportation to the regatta
Athletes are responsible for getting to the the University of Alabama (or Birmingham airport by 12:30 June 17 where you can take a shuttle) and getting home from the regatta (or the Will Rogers Oklahoma City airport as we offer a shuttle after racing concludes).
This camp must comply with regulations of the local governing entity and camp licensing. Parents may request copies of background checks, health care and discipline policies as well as procedures for filing grievances.
We encourage families to purchase travel insurance such as the one HERE at TravelSafe. We recommend purchasing the "Classic" package that covers "cancellation for any reason."
RSR will only offer a refund (minus $1500) for those athletes formally invited to the USRowing Selection Team in Chula Vista to race at the Junior World Championship. We still encourage you to purchase "cancel for any reason" coverage if you intend to apply to the Junior World Team. A refund is not offered for another rowing camp or any other USRowing camp.
