All OAR participants in coached programs pay seasonal coaching fees so that directly-related coaching and launch costs are covered. Following our guiding principles of Safety, Quality, Teamwork and Teaching, we want all of our club’s programs to improve and grow. We want to be able to provide quality coached programs to all our adult members in both sweep rowing and sculling. We also would like to provide greater opportunity for members to participate in both, and remove obstacles that may discourage greater participation.

We benefit from volunteer coaching; however, we may not always be able to rely on sufficient volunteer coaching for all programs. Our new fees have been set so the club can continue to staff all our programs into the future. Seasonal fees are set at the same per-session rate for all programs. Punchcards are also available to access club programs for a more limited number of sessions than a full “season,” at a somewhat higher per-session rate.

Per-season fees (spring, summer and fall) for sweeps programs are $80 (3x per week during daylight savings time) and $30 for sculling programs (1x per week). A discount rate of $100 per season is available to those participating in both sweep and sculling programs. Programs may also be accessed through the use of $25 punchcards good for 5 practices throughout the year – either sweep or sculling. To encourage participation in our coached programs, each member has a free punchcard good for 3 practices.
