Head Coach Brent Figg with assistant coaches Alex, Denise and Elizabeth have a strong program this year, with over 40 kids at practice.

2009/2010 Winter Training

We have our great indoor training facility again this year: 20 ergs, heat, locker rooms, showers, stretching room and more. It is easy to get to just off of I-75 at route 35. Adults will have a regular weekday morning session plus weekday evenings and Saturday mornings. The Juniors are planning on 4-6pm on Mon-Thur plus Saturday morning.

2009 Adult Program Recap

The GDRA adult rowing program continued to flourish under the directorship of Linda Clemens. Our competitive team kicked off the season at the Columbus MidWest Sprints in both sweep and sculling events and concluded the year at the Head of the Hooch. Our adult membership reached over 60 rowers by the end of the season, including both competitive and recreational scullers and sweep rowers.

2009 Junior Recap

The GDRA junior rowing program had a spring season under Head Coach Elizabeth Reed and assistant coaches Liz, Denise, Vicky and Beth. Brent Figg was hired as Head Coach in the Fall season. Brent has ambitious plans for the program coming up.

The 2008 Rookie Rower program flourished yet again under Todd Sobol's direction. This junior high school rowing camp always produces a surge of exuberance in mid-summer.

Docks pulled out Nov 15, 2009

With the Head of the Hooch marking the end of the racing season, and the evening light gone, we have pulled 100' of the docks our for the winter. We left 30' in place for those the hardy souls and the occasional warm weekend.

Docks launched March 29, 2009

I did not expect anyone to show up for the work crew on Sunday. It was 38 degrees and raining with a stiff wind. But sixteen GDRA members appeared along with the UD men's crew. After 2 hours, we had 130' of dock back in the water.

2008/2009 Winter

The GDRA winter season benefited greatly from a new indoor facility in downtown Dayton. It was a big change from a cold boat bay. We had a heated erg room with 20 ergs, weight room, stretching room and locker rooms.
