rowing Ratzeburg
.....improve your sculling technique in the single scullThese international sculling weeks are open for all scullers who want to bring their sculling technique on a higher level.
These weeks are meant for those who are member of a rowing club and find no-one to help them to really improve their techniques. The scullingweek offers participants the opportunity to learn how to scull, or to improve their level of sculling. The individual needs of each participant will be given priority in the program.
All of this can be achieved, because of the individual approach throughout the entire week. The goal of the program is, to for each participant develop a (new) technical base, as a help to continue in any direction of the rowing sport. And one of the most important ideas is, in fact, each rower can be his own instructor.
During the week each participant will be assigned to a single scull, which will be adjusted in a proper way. There will be 10 sculling sessions during the week (depending on wheateconditions). Almost every day the scullers will be filmed from the motorboat and all the recordings will be analysed. Throughout the week private instruction in the single scull will be given on the level of each sculler. Besides sculling in the single scull, there will be other opportunities to row together or do other things like walking through the lovely woods or riding a bike along the beautiful lakes.
To achieve those goals, a nice environment has been chosen. The scullingcenter of Ratzeburg (60km east from, Hamburg, Germany) is situated at a beautiful lake surrounded by hills, forest, fields and small villages. The 4 lakes around give the scullers always a good chance to find some nice rowingwater; other then that recreational motorboats are not allowed on the lakes, which makes them even more perfect to row. The center offers excellent facilities. The double rooms have each their own shower and toilet, have comfortable (long!) beds and colour-TV. Healthy meals, a nice boathouse and a fleet which is kept in good shape provide optimal conditions for a nice week.The lakes around Ratzeburg provide nice rowingwater. Because they are situated in an unique way, you almost always can find a wind-hidden place for good sculling. To reach those spots, sometimes a small area of waves need to be conquered. Also on these lakes there is a permanent interdiction for motorised recreational boats.
The instructors are very experienced and enthusiastic coaches, who like to coach recreational rowers. Passion, patience and dedication lead the way.
This scullingweek is not meant as a trainingweek for competition rowers. The week is focused on improvement of technique, by sculling a lot, watching each other and by sharing experiences.
