The Three Rivers Rowing Association (TRRA) is a membership organization offering rowing and dragon boating programs to anyone living in the Pittsburgh region.  Founded in 1984, TRRA has grown into one of the largest community-based rowing and paddling clubs in the United States.  Its programs serve people of all skill levels from a broad range of social and economic backgrounds, and participants range in age from teenagers to senior citizens.  TRRA offers lessons for beginners in rowing and dragon boating, and provides coached programs for more advanced rowers and paddlers.  TRRA facilities include two boathouses on the Allegheny River just north of downtown Pittsburgh.  The Lambert Boathouse is located on Washington’s Landing (formerly known as Herr’s Island) and the Millvale Training Center is located on the adjacent river bank.  The boathouses contain weight rooms, locker rooms, training rooms with ergometers (rowing machines), and storage bays holding rowing shells.  The Millvale complex also houses indoor rowing tanks for training purposes.  B hosts several competitive events each year, including the nationally recognized Head of the Ohio Regatta every October.  Jenn Grieb has been with TRRA for seven years; she joined the organization as the Executive Assistant in 2010 and became Executive Director in the summer of 2015.

The Pittsburgh Hurling Club (the Pittsburgh Pucas) is a Greater Pittsburgh hurling team and a member of the United States Gaelic Athletic Association (USGAA).  The Pucas were the Midwest Division Champions in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015; they hope to reclaim the title this year (2017).  The Irish sport of hurling, at times referred to as the “fastest game on grass” or the “greatest sport you’ve never heard of,” is over 3,000 years old and combines skills of lacrosse, field hockey, and baseball.  It is a stick (hurley) and ball (sliotar) game, played by teams (of 7, 13, or 15) on a rectangular pitch with H-shaped goals at each end.  The primary object is to score by putting the ball over the bar for a point or driving the ball through the goal for three points.  Irish teams play 15 per side, while most teams in America play 13 per side.  For more information on hurling (and camogie, an Irish stick-and-ball game played by women, that is almost identical to hurling) and to answer the question: What is a puca?
