Winter & Spring 2026 Racing Team

TBC Racing is the region’s premier competitive rowing program, with over 30 years of excellence on the water.

Our legacy is built on high-level training, teamwork, and the belief that great results come from dedication and shared effort. We’re committed to making competitive rowing accessible to all youth athletes — from those just discovering the sport to experienced rowers and coxswains striving for top performance. At TBC Racing, every athlete has the opportunity to grow, compete, and contribute to something bigger than themselves.

The Spring season is the primary competitive season for rowing, culminating in the USRowing Youth National Championships in Sarasota, Florida.

Training through the winter develops the strength, endurance, and technical precision that set our athletes apart in spring competition. Registration for the Winter and Spring seasons is combined to support a seamless progression from indoor training to on-water performance.

If you are interested in participating in the Winter season only, please contact Matt Russell at info@tbcracing.org. In general, indoor training is reserved for athletes planning to compete with TBC Racing during the Spring season.

Spring Break: We continue training throughout the spring break period. Because our athletes represent more than 50 different schools, we do not align with any single school calendar. High school athletes are expected to train during their individual spring breaks — consistent attendance in March and April is critical for both personal development and team readiness heading into championship racing.

Nationals: The USRowing Youth National Championships includes categories for U16, U17, and U19 athletes. In 2024, TBC Racing fielded boats in each of these age groups — including athletes as young as 12 who had just learned to row in the spring and competed at Nationals by June! Families should plan for the spring season to extend through June 15, 2026 , with travel home from Florida on June 16. If your athlete will not be available for Nationals, please inform the coaches early in the season so that lineup planning for both Mid-Atlantics and Nationals remains consistent.

Spring Race Schedule:

We aim to enter enough boats for every available athlete to race at each regatta, except where selections apply. In cases of uneven athlete numbers, we make every effort to ensure all athletes have at least one racing opportunity at each regatta, though this may not always be possible.

Race Fees: For your budgeting purposes, race fees for the spring regattas (excluding San Diego and Youth Nationals) will total about $1000, covering Bus Transportation, Hotels, Race Fees, Trailering, Team Dinners.  These fees will be billed as we approach regatta season.  San Diego and Nationals will have separate billing and generally run about $1000-$1500 per trip (covering airfare, hotels, regatta fees, trailering, etc).

The race schedule below is tentative and may shift if other opportunities arise.
