HIgh School Rowing

Be a Part of our Winning Tradition!

Sebastian River Rowing has a proud history of excellence—with 27 State Championships and a reputation for developing strong, committed student-athletes. Our High School Rowing Program is built for those who want to challenge themselves, grow as teammates and individuals, and compete at the highest level.

But our success doesn’t stop at the finish line. Our athletes also excel in the classroom, and this combination of discipline, drive, and teamwork has helped many of our rowers earn collegiate rowing opportunities—often with scholarships.

Fall Season – Train with Purpose

The fall season is a critical time to develop your strength, technique, and endurance. Athletes focus on steady-state training and water time—because the best spring crews are built in the fall.

This season includes two head races, including a travel opportunity to Philadelphia, PA to compete in the legendary Head of the Schuylkill Regatta. These long-distance, timed events (3,000–5,000 meters) test both rowing skill and conditioning. We also enter two sprint-style races to sharpen racing instincts and prepare for an incredible spring season.

The spring season is our sprint racing season—and it’s where our team shines.

Spring Season – Championship Season!

Races cover 1500/2000 meters and are head-to-head. We aim to qualify and win at the FSRA State Championships and compete at the Youth National Championships, building on nearly two decades of elite-level success.

The spring journey begins in January and includes fitness training, strength work, and increasing time on the water. Athletes in winter sports can join once their season ends.
