Team Practices

The Mount Vernon High School Crew Team has practices in three stages.  Winter Conditioning begins in November three afternoon per week.  Novice and returning rowers with work on their endurance and strength using ergometers (rowing machines), stretching and weights.  After the conclusion of the Winter sports season, the team expands practice to five days per week.   Once the weather warms, usually the last week in February, the team begins practice in rowing shells on water. 

Conditioning practice takes place at the high school.  Practice on the water takes place at the Ft. Belvoir Marina and the Mount Vernon Yacht Club.  The team will announce the schedule for these practices as starting dates approach.
