Development Team - Winter/Spring 2025 Information

Please join SJRC as we kick off our development team practice for the Spring of 2025! From 2/17 through 2/26, kids will be practicing at our warehouse location in Pennsauken (strength training) on Mondays ,and at our Moorestown Mall location (erging) on Wednesdays. Both nights are from 5:30 -7:15.

Practice will pick back up again on March 25th and continue through May 8th. These practices will start in our warehouse for one to two weeks (weather dependent) and will integrate both erging and strength training. Once the coaches feel it is appropriate, the practices will move to the water (at the Camden County Boathouse). These workouts will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 - 6:45.

The cost of this program is $700.

Athletes should bring a water bottle and wear clothes that they are comfortable exercising in.  There may be times when the team goes outside, so bring a hoodie or something warm.  There are bathrooms and a place to store coats, backpacks etc.  Please arrive at 5:15.
