Team Information

Riverside Crew is a competitive varsity club sport open to boys and girls in grades 9-12. Riverside, along with 40 other Virginia schools, is a member of the Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association (VASRA), and competes in regattas at Sandy Run Regional Park.

Crew is a growing sport that teaches commitment, dedication, and teamwork. Rowing is one of the top aerobic activities and requires excellent overall physical conditioning.  Most importantly, it gives students the opportunity to be part of a team at Riverside, a team that values commitment and rewards effort.  Unlike other sports, Riverside Crew receives no school funding, and must rely on fundraising to field a competitive team. 

Joining the team requires no prior experience. Because rowing is not available until the high school level, freshmen have a unique opportunity to learn and explore a new sport, starting on equal footing with their classmates and competitors. Over the course of the year, incoming student-athletes go from never having stepped into a boat to rowing at a very competitive level and are ready to join the varsity squad in their second year. 

Riverside Crew offers opportunities to practice year-round during summer, fall, winter, and spring season.  Each year, there is a mandatory training program during the LCPS spring break. The crew team compete in a variety of competitive local and away regattas during the fall and spring seasons.
