Coxing is an exciting and crucial role in rowing team boats. Good coxswains combine elements of steering, race strategy, technical coaching, and motivation to help their crews reach their potential. Coxswains do not physically row the boat, but they contribute to its speed by providing leadership and direction to their rowers. It is important to recognize that coxswains are really part of the crew. To learn more about the role of a coxswain click on the pic OR email DOR@eastbayrowing.com.
All EBR athletes will race in regattas. Additional regattas may be added, coaches will determine this. EBR expects competitive team athletes to attend regattas. Racing is what you signed up for!
