HomeAdult - Masters Membership

MASTERS MEMBERSHIP

We offer several different membership options for adult rowers, also known as "masters." 

 

General Masters Membership - Age 27+: $750

This membership runs annually September 1 - August 31. General membership entitles use of rowing and weight training equipment (subject to availability/priorities), facilities, an option to rent private boat storage if available, and access to Lexington Reservoir. This membership option also provides for participation in club organized coached rowing programs (additional fees apply).

 

General Masters Membership - Age 18-26: $375

General membership for those under 27 provides the same benefits as the over 27 option. While under-27 members are able to participate in coached rowing programs, please note that US Rowing regulations classify this age group as Open or AA. As such, this age group will generally not race with over-27 groups.

General Masters Membership - Age 75+: $375

General membership for those 75 and over provides the same benefits as the over 27 option.

 

Summer Collegiate Membership: $75 (June - September)

This option is for LGRC alumni and collegiate rowers (must be participating in a college-level rowing program) who wish to continue their fitness and training on an independent basis. Summer members have access to club facilities, equipment (subject to availability/priorities) and Lexington Reservoir. No coaching is included. The summer program runs from June 1 through the end of September.

 

Out-of-Area Membership: $275

This membership option is for out-of-area members who are able to use LGRC facilities only half of the year or less. Out-of-area members must reside at least 100 miles from Los Gatos when they are out of the area. Out-of-area members are entitled to all general membership benefits.

 

Sustaining Membership: $200

Los Gatos Rowing Club is very much an alumni and family-oriented club. We welcome non-rowing members who are interested in joining the community organization. Sustaining members are welcome at all club functions and events and will be included in club correspondences but are not voting members. Sustaining members can use the facilities and equipment a maximum of 5 times per membership year, providing they have certified rowing experience, and are required to sign a USRowing “Release of Liability” waiver and the LGRC Swim Waiver.  

 

San Jose State Student Membership: $100 per semester

Available only to currently-enrolled SJSU students who have completed an SJSU Intro To Rowing class or have verifiable previous high school rowing experience. Non-voting membership. Restricted rowing times.

 

Private Boat Storage 

A limited number of private member boat storage spaces are available inside the LGRC boathouse for members to store single and double sculling boats. Storage rates: $700 for a double, $500 for a single.
