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

 

Fall Practice schedule: 
Varsity Girls: (9/6 - 11/18) M-F 4:30 - 7:00pm, Sat 8:00 - 11:00am

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.
