STUDENT LEADERSHIP

The Farmington Crew Team offers a Summer Leadership Program for our athletes as a required prerequisite for running for captain. Students will learn how to effectively lead the team, develop their own leadership philosophy, and grow skills that will help them throughout their lives. 

ROWING IN COLLEGE

Preparing athletes for collegiate rowing is not the primary goal of our program. However, athletes who commit to our program through their senior year are typically prepared to successfully try out for a college team.  This level of preparation is the result of mental and physical development that our athletes undergo as we support them in reaching their potential. 

Collegiate rowing can be a rich and rewarding experience. If you want to learn more about it, please talk to your coaches.
