The Buffalo Scholastic Rowing Association (BSRA) is inviting high school age boys to join the newly established Team BSRA Boys. Rowing experience is not required and there are no cuts — everyone practices and everyone competes!

Rowing is a four-season sport and BSRA teams compete locally, nationally and in Canada. Rowing is also a non-contact sport that provides a full-body exercise. There are opportunities for athletes of all sizes.

Team BSRA Boys is open to any high school boy who wants to be part of a competitive rowing team and is currently attending a school that does not have a rowing program.

Informational meetings will take place at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 13 and 10 a.m. Jan. 6 at the Old First Ward Community Center, 62 Republic St., Buffalo. Winter crew practice starts at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 9 at the Old First Ward Community Center. Team coaches are Patrick Kenney and Matthew Yeksigian.

Winter/spring dues are $200 plus a $125 regatta fee. For more information on Team BSRA Boys, please email info@rowbuffalo.com.
