Learn to Scull (for experienced sweep rowers)

3 or 5 day comprehensive introduction

This introduction to sculling is designed for individuals that are skilled in the discipline of sweep rowing but have limited or no prior experience in sculling boats. Training will use Peinert Zephyrs, a stable but reactive shell that will allow you to begin developing a mastery of sculling specific blade work and body mechanics - just like when you row by 6s in an 8+. For athletes who advance at an accelerated rate, the opportunity to transition into a racing single and progress their skills in that platform will also be available. Groups are kept very small (1-4 participants) to ensure every athlete receives a highly personal training experience during their time at camp and are never "lost in the mix".

Learn to Scull (for indoor rowers)

3 or 5 day comprehensive introduction

This introduction to sculling is designed for experienced indoor rowers who have limited or no prior experience with rowing or sculling on the water and would like to see what it's all about. Instruction will combine the use of Concept2 Indoor Rowers and the Peinert Zephyr, a one person sculling shell that is reactive but very stable. Athletes will review their stroke using the indoor rower while highlighting and reinforcing movement patterns that will permit a seamless transition to the boat. Work on the water will introduce the concepts of balance and bladework and build upon the mechanics that athletes have already developed on their rowing machines.

Sculling Level 1

3 or 5 day intensive skill development

This camp is for athletes who have some experience in sculling boats but are either not yet comfortable in a single or who struggle to row effectively at higher rates. It is very common for new scullers to be pushed into racing shells too early in the learning process, either due to a lack of skill-appropriate equipment within their home club's fleet, or a poor understanding of skill progression by their local coaches. This results in a poor technical foundation, which in turn makes a smooth transition into the more challenging hull shapes rare. Level 1 Sculling will identify those deficiencies and give you the guidance and tools that you need to start resolving them both at camp and once you return home.

Sculling Level 2

3 or 5 day intensive skill development

Level 2 Sculling is for athletes who are comfortable, but not yet competitive (relative to their potential), in racing shells, the single in particular. Team boats are encouraged to attend these sessions together. Athletes are also welcome and encouraged to bring their own equipment to camp and we will work together to ensure it is rigged properly on day 1. Day 1 will also be used in combination with any video that you provide when registering to identify where we can make the most impact with your stroke and begin making changes. Training will rotate between the erg, the Peinert Zephyr(s), and racing shells as needed to provide the best possible platform for new skill development and transfer back into your racing shell at home. Athletes for Level 2 Sculling are especially encouraged to take advantage of the custom date option if the available dates are not compatible with their schedule.

Sculling Level 3

3 day intensive skill work

This option is for individuals that are comfortable with all aspects of training and racing in a single scull. The camp will begin with a diagnostic row to identify potential areas of improvement. A combination of Peinert Zephyrs and racing singles will be used to build/rebuild the skills identified and in need of refinement. Athletes are welcome and encouraged to bring their own singles if they own one, though GTS can provide a racing single for any athlete weighing less than 220. Rigging services (as needed) are included for any athlete bringing their own shell. Most camps at this level are one-on-one, though groups sizes of up to 4 can be accomodated if the skillsets of the participants are evenly matched (especially if they are from the same crew or training group). One-on-one coaching and small groups ensure each athlete receives a highly personal training experience and are never "lost in the mix". Athletes can expect to leave with a firm understanding of how to further develop the targetted skills once they return to their home water.
