Powered by GoogleTBC Racing has been one of the best additions to my son's life. He has met so many friends and had so many fantastic experiences with them. We started at 12 years old at different rowing program in the area, which didn't go the greatest. We were referred TBC for their ability to work with new young rowers, so joined a Learn to Row program and haven't looked back since! He's now done two racing seasons with TBC and is about to go to Nationals next month with them. My son is thriving in this program and I feel it is mostly due to how well everything is ran. The coach's are amazing and not only do a great job growing young crew teams but also in fostering quality character. Hands down highly recommend this program!
TBC has been such a rewarding experience for my teen. In its literature. TBC suggests it only takes a few weeks for kids to fall in love with rowing. In our case, they were right. Katie and Coach Russell run a tight ship and provide their rowers with expert training, as well as an abundance of kindness and support,
Excellent program and team for kids to learn rowing and racing. Coaches are knowledgeable and great with kids. It’s a like a rowing family.
TBC is a fabulous rowing club! They have dedicated, expert coaches and provide a positive, supportive atmosphere for the kids.
Children and I enjoyed ourselves it was a funny experience as well trying to tell my oldest how to navigate the boat because she in the front and I was in the back this was their first time the staff was great and very helpful
