Competition:

 

For those 14 and up who wish to compete we have races in the fall and the spring.

Check our calendar for dates.  There are additional costs for racing.  Each event

averages $150 and will require USRowing Membership and a race uniform.

Competition is a fun way to meet rowers from other teams

and to expand your skills as a rower.  We have races up and down the west coast

and regularly qualify for National Championships in the spring for the

ultra-committed  rowers.

 

More information can be found in the summer packet and the parent handbook.
