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 upon request, an installment plan option to pay over time may be established.

The program fee for all rowers is currently $475 per season with a sliding scale available. Junior rowers new to the program will also be assessed a one time uniform fee of $40. This ensures all team members have an official MRC racing tank. Additional optional MRC gear may be available for purchase as well.

• MRC Juniors annual membership dues are $250
• Juniors Novice (first year, no prior rowing experience) membership dues are $195
