Jackson-Reed Crew registration is now open for new athletes! NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Any Jackson-Reed High School student is invited to join.

The novice squad is open to any athlete, including those students with no previous rowing experience. Because rowing is not usually available until the high school level, freshmen, sophomores, or even juniors 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. Jackson-Reed Crew is the only public high school crew team in DC. The program can provide financial assistance so that no interested rower is prevented from participating due to financial barriers.
