Fall Competitive Rowing Season
Fall is where athletes build endurance, confidence, and race experience while competing in exciting 5,000-meter head races throughout the Midwest. Whether you’re returning for another season or stepping into a boat for the first time, fall is the perfect time to grow as an athlete and become part of one of Central Ohio’s fastest-growing rowing programs.
Returning athletes continue developing speed and boat skills while preparing for increasingly competitive racing. New athletes begin in our novice program, learning proper technique, building fitness, and gaining confidence alongside other beginners before progressing to varsity competition.
Registration is OPEN for Fall.
For current and new team members, don't hesitate to contact us with questions!
