The Natchitoches Rowing Club is inviting new members to join its junior and master’s teams this spring. The club welcomes students in grades 7-12 for the junior program and adults 18 and older for the master’s program. No prior experience is required, as all participants will receive training from the club’s experienced coaching staff.
Rowing offers a full-body workout, an opportunity to meet new people, and a chance to challenge yourself in a supportive environment. Those interested can contact Coach Tori at natchitochesrowingclub@gmail.com with questions or to learn more about joining.
For those who may not want to row but still want to support the program, the club offers sponsorship opportunities that help give back to youth and the local community.
Coach Tori, founder and head coach of the Natchitoches Rowing Club, brings an accomplished athletic background to the program. A First Team All-American and Academic All-American at Northwestern State University, she finished her collegiate rowing career as the most decorated rower in NSU history, earning more than 16 gold medals and consistently placing in the top five in every race. Her competitive experience includes Rochester Rowing Club, NSU, and Craftsbury in Vermont, with highlights including a bronze medal at the ACRA Nationals, a Canadian Henley semifinal appearance, a USRowing Midwest Championship title, and a USRowing Summer National Championship.
Coach Tori previously founded and coached the LSMSA Crew program and serves as an assistant coach for NSU Crew. She is dedicated to expanding access to rowing in Natchitoches and creating a supportive environment for athletes of all levels.
