They build on the skills developed in Learn to Row and Crew League, and work to improve their fitness and athleticism.

Youth Competitive Varsity Rowing

Our nationally ranked and award-winning Competitive Varsity team is an ideal fit for athletes who have completed the Novice Rowing program and are dedicated to improving their rowing skills and competing at a high level. Rowers will challenge themselves physically and mentally within a strong team environment. 

 

Some athletes may be placed into a Development program, which includes fewer on-water sessions per week, and is more focused on developing fitness, athleticism, and rowing technique.

 

Prerequisite: Youth Competitive Novice or equivalent

 

 

Per USRowing and CRI's policies, athletes participate in rowing activities with the team (Boys or Girls) that best matches their expressed gender identity, regardless of the gender listed on the athlete’s birth certificate or student records, and regardless of whether the athlete has undergone any medical treatment.

 

For further information about this policy, or if you have any questions, please contact Theresa Welsh (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

 

The link below directs parents to the CRI Parent Handbook. This is a “living document” intended to provide parents of Novice and Varsity athletes information and forms.
