The Wappingers Crew Club has been rowing since 2004. We are an approved, parent run and funded club, operating within the Wappingers Central School District for the benefit of Wappingers Central School Students. Our club consists of dedicated athletes from John Jay and Roy C. Ketcham High Schools as well as Van Wyck and Wappingers Junior High Schools.
Spring is our main racing season. Crew is a demanding endurance sport. We start physical training in February. When the ice melts we row out of the Hudson River Rowing Association Boathouse in Poughkeepsie. Starting in April, we race other high school teams almost every weekend until the end of May. The majority of our races take place under the jurisdiction of the Hudson Valley Rowing League. Some of the races are overnight road trips including the State Championships in Saratoga, NY as well as the Syracuse Invitational. The team rows 8-oared boats and 4-oared boats for girls and boys. There are also lightweight and heavyweight categories. Novices (first year rowers) race against other novice crews.
New rowers typically start by enrolling in our Fall “learn-to-row” program at Sharpe Reservation. If you cannot participate in our Fall program you can join our Spring season. All new rowers MUST PASS A SWIM TEST. The best rowers have a strong work ethic, are willing to train hard and work well in a group.
