All grade nines and any NEWCOMER to Crossley or the sport regardless of age or grade is encouraged to try the sport and the team that has changed many blue and gold lives over the years. How do you try it? Two ways.

There is also a Learn to Row program that runs in the Fall at the club and offers flexible times and numerous opportunities to row different boats with different people from the Crossley community. Fun, fitness and friends (old and new). More info to be found at the Open House and Try Row day this Saturday and/or online at www. niagaracommunityrowing.com. More info also coming to all grade nines this week at school and see Ms. Yallup in Room 318 if you have any questions.
