California; However coaches have discretion to select teams
for additional racing. Check our
Race Schedule.

Program
Goals
Our rowing program provides a challenging and rewarding
opportunity for high school student/athletes that
incorporates a high level of team work and physical
conditioning. Although the program is highly structured and
competitive, there is a strong emphasis placed on enjoyment
and respect for our outdoor environment. A wonderful chance
to build friendships, rowing brings together boys and girls
of all backgrounds for a common goal.
