LARA is fortunate to have one of the finest Scholastic coaching staffs in the country, boasting an impressive resume of Collegiate and Scholastic National Championships, as well as degrees from America's top universities and colleges. Each of the coaches is well qualified to communicate the different aspects of rowing, from land training to the water and all the way through complex racing strategies. The coaches will instill the physiology, techniques, tradition, and above all the work ethic that has sustained rowing for centuries. Highly motivated and successful people are synonymous with rowing worldwide. Our goal is to produce a spiritually-based, scholastically superior athlete who can compete at the highest level both academically and athletically.
