In the spring and fall Shaker Heights Rowing practices at The Foundry, a beautiful modern facility in the Flats area of downtown Cleveland. Transportation is provided by SHHS and generally leaves from the high school 30 minutes before listed practice times, and returns 30 minutes after. We go to the Foundry rain or shine, as there is plenty of indoor space available.
All practices are mandatory in the fall and spring seasons. For athletes who are not committed to another winter sport, winter conditioning sessions are highly recommended to retain and build strength and endurance leading into the spring rowing season.
Practice usually lasts around 2 hours at the boathouse. Practice times may be staggered by squad, but transportation will always be provided.
