When Vashon Brock was a young boy and the weather was nice, his grandmother would buy him breakfast before taking him to school. The two would sit along the sea wall and eat, and watch the high school rowing team make its way through the back bays.
“As a kid, I remember I loved that,” said Brock, now 22. “I wanted to do that and be on the water.”
So he did, joining the Atlantic City High School crew team and going on to row at Stockton University where he is a senior. Now, Brock hopes he can instill that same enthusiasm in a new group of young people in the city as a coach for Stockton’s Youth Rowing Program for middle school-age students this summer.

John Bancheri wants to give young people living in Atlantic City the same experience he had when he started to row the back bays in the 1970s.
“It changed my life,” said Bancheri, the head rowing coach at Stockton University.
Bancheri and a group of area rowing enthusiasts have come together to help Stockton begin a new youth rowing program for middle school students in Atlantic City this summer.
Committee members kicked things off this summer at the Knife and Fork Inn.
