General Sculling

For Experienced Rowers

Program Description

The General Sculling program allows a rower to use WRRA sculling equipment on the Cuyahoga River (WRRA owned 1x, 2x, 2- and 4x sculls and oars). This is NOT a coached program. Scullers must be certified as an Independent Sculler or Independent Pair by the WRRA Sculling Committee and have passed the SQL test before using any WRRA equipment without an accompanying coach or fellow independent rower on the Cuyahoga River. See the WRRA Sculling Program Outline for more details.

Equipment Use and Reservations:

General Sculling members are responsible for using appropriate WRRA equipment taking into consideration their weight, the weight limits of the shell, the skill level of sculler, and any other restrictions on the use of the shell set by the Board of Directors.

All shells must be reserved through the iCrew reservation website (app available for iOS and Android) - when you create an account, enter registration code rowcrf, create a userID and password and complete the remainder of the form. Please be considerate of other rowers and CANCEL your session if you are not able to row.
