Our Youth Team is for middle and high school youth (starting ~12 years old) who have some rowing experience. Inexperienced rowers will join our Youth Team after completing a Learn to Row Camp. Rowers will increase their training volume and intensity in order to prepare for the upcoming race season. Join our Youth Rowing Charlotte area team today or at any time during the season and become part of a vibrant community! Special exceptions can be requested using our contact form.
Attendance at all scheduled practices is expected as it is a key factor in determining race lineups. Athletes who cannot commit to the full training schedule can still participate, but should not expect to be consistently boated with the varsity crews.
Financial Aid Available
We offer financial aid for programs based on need. These scholarships are limited by fund availability. Learn more and apply here.
