Program Overview

Fall Season is dedicated to providing our athletes with a competitive and fun long-distance racing experience. We train 5-6 days a week, with several local racing opportunities throughout the season. Fall Season is head race season and the team focuses on growing as rowers and teammates while building their rowing skills in preparation for Winter and Spring.

Novice rowers will begin the season by training separately from experienced rowers but will have opportunities to row up in mixed squad lineups as they progress.

Youth interested in coxing should reach out to Tori Hu at tori.hu@vashoncrew.com.

Our goal for all rowers, new and experienced, is to grow as rowers, as teammates, and as people.

Fall Season is head race season – longer courses, lots of teaming, and lots of fun.

The registration fee includes:

Coached practices Tuesday through Saturday

Equipment (team uniforms are provided to all rowers by the Club)

Regatta entry fees

Regatta meals (where necessary for Regattas).

Please note: travel fees (ferry, transportation/carpooling to and from regattas) are not included in the registration.
