Crew is a Varsity Sport

We maintain four (4) Squads

  1. Novice Women
  2. Novice Men
  3. Varsity Women
  4. Varsity Men

U.S. Rowing rules dictate that after 1 calendar year from the first day you row that you automatically become a Varsity rower. (Complete Fall and Spring season)

For those new to the sport or unsure of making a committment, we offer Summer Learn to Row Sessions (three one week sessions) to try the sport on for a "good fit."

Parent Volunteers are Needed!...

Dublin Crew is run entirely by parent volunteers under the governance of our Bylaws and a Board of Directors. However, as with any varsity sport - there are many volunteer roles that must be filled in order to ensure a successful organization and efficiently operated regattas. Dublin Crew relies on parent assistance to ensure each student athlete can enjoy the best experience and our coaches can focus their attention on our athletes.

Sign up for any position or just jump in and help on committees and at regattas. Volunteers have more fun and meet more people!
