North Orlando Rowing, formerly known as Power Ten Rowing, is a scholastic rowing club open to 6th - 12th grade students from Orlando area schools. We have a year-around high school rowing program and starting this year a seasonal middle school rowing program. Previously associated with Bishop Moore High School, North Orlando Rowing began its rowing program in 1996. From those humble beginnings, with borrowed equipment and volunteer coaches, North Orlando Rowing has grown into a full-fledged scholastic program for both Men and Women. North Orlando Rowing has its own dedicated coaches, its own fleet of boats (5-8's, 4-4's, and a Pair), training equipment, launches, food/gear trailer and a wonderful group of student athletes. Returning to its roots as a club team in 2006, North Orlando Rowing is now able to recruit rowers from all area high schools (and middle schools). For students whose schools do not have a rowing program, North Orlando Rowing is a great option. North Orlando Rowing is actively seeking students who want to row where the smaller team size means more time in the boat per rower and a serious-but-fun approach to rowing amps up the fun quotient. Even while winning medals and awards, North Orlando Rowing requires that its rowers be STUDENT ATHLETES. Rowing is an intense workout that develops cardiovascular strength and endurance, and it is also very time consuming. Despite that, our rowers perform at or above their class level and tend to perform at the top of their class in GPA. North Orlando Rowing athletes have gone off to colleges such as University of Miami, University of Florida, Holy Cross, University of Central Florida, Rollins College, and many others, where at some continue to row. Financial support for North Orlando Rowing comes through rower dues. North Orlando Rowing sponsors booster/fundraising activities (such as the annual Sunrise Sprints Regatta in December), advertising opportunities and individual fundraising activities, often in conjunction with major city/county venues such as the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center and the Amway Arena. North Orlando Rowing will work with any rower who is committed to its program, showing the discipline and motivation to practice and compete, to make sure financial constraints do not stand in the rower's way.
