The Radnor Girls Crew Club will once again host its annual Discover Day on Saturday, April 29th.

The goal of the Discovery Day is to introduce the sport of rowing to girls currently enrolled in the 7th and 8th grades at RMS. The complimentary two-hour session will introduce the mechanics of rowing on the rowing machines, an overview of of the typical day in the life of a varsity rower, and a on-water demonstration by current team members.  Each prospect will have time to develop and improve rowing skills in a relaxed atmosphere.  RGCC coaches will be assisted by current crew members, enabling the participants to talk with experienced girls about the sport as well as get more personal instruction.

Registration deadline is April 24th
