Gryphon Rowing Banquet
Gryphon Rowing is hosting its annual athletic banquet and would like to invite GRC members to attend. The Gryphon Rowing Athletic Banquet provides an opportunity to bring the team, friends and family together to celebrate the many successes of the season. Individual and team awards will be given out at the banquet, and a silent auction will be live prior to and during the event. Please join us in supporting and celebrating our rowing community.

Guelph Rowing Club Needs High School Coaches!
Become a Volunteer High School Coach
Beginning this fall GRC will need volunteer coaches to run our high school program and train our athletes. Coaching high school is an opportunity to introduce our sport to young people that learn quickly, develop themselves physically and mentally, and grow to love our sport through your guidance.
What is the Program?
The fall program is a 2-week learn-to-row course, a great way to ease into the role. There is a winter training program that usually runs from mid January until mid April. The competitive season runs mid-April until the beginning of June and involves three regattas.
Try It Out!
If you would like to see what coaching these athletes is like, join the current coaches on the water this spring for a few sessions.
