## Pupil Rowing Clubs and Squads of Schools

Pupil Rowing Clubs in Germany are usually organised as squads (German: Riegen) annexed to a school, most of them grammar schools or other schools for a-levels, some of them boarding schools, and hosted by a local rowing club. A few of them are themselves full members of the German Rowing Federation (DRV).
