Grand Rapids Rowing High School Program
Our competitive high school program can accept athletes from any school* and is designed for high performance at the high school level and sets the foundation for athletes to row successfully in college.
Typically, the team is split into two levels for training and racing, based on experience:
The novice crew is for athletes that are new to the sport, or within their first year for rowing. Training for novices focuses on developing rowing skills and preparing for races against other novice crews at local and regional regattas.
The varsity crew is for athletes with a year or more of experience and focuses on training for local, regional, and, occasionally, national level regattas.
*Home Athletes – Guaranteed Roster Spot
Athletes 9th-12th grade attending a school without a rowing team or athletes who rowed their most recent season (Spring/Fall) at GRRC (regardless of school).
*Away Athletes – Please contact coaches
Athletes 9th-12th grade attending a school with a rowing program (Northview, Rockford, Lowell, FHE, FHN, FHC, EGR) and did not row their most recent season (Spring/Fall) at GRRC and 8th grade athletes attending any school.
