High School Rowing

Why choose the Scullers?

Rowing is about creating magic both on and off the water. Our program offers an affordable, inclusive experience tailored to each athlete’s needs and aspirations. We work closely with every individual to support their goals, whether pursuing athletic excellence or preparing for academic success.

Many of our high school rowers advance to college while continuing their rowing journey. Sculler Alumni have joined elite teams, competed at NCAA-level colleges, or returned to Scullers as coaches, sharing their passion for the sport they grew to love here.

Colleges are looking for dedicated people like you.

We welcome any level of athlete to start competitive high school rowing!

No experience is necessary

We welcome all high school rowers, regardless of experience. Scullers learn the tools needed to become successful in rowing and in life. Our coaches will push you to exceed your own expectations, while keeping your safety as a top priority. Fast, friendly, and fun is the name of the game here at Scullers.

Our high school team travels and competes in Sarasota and nearby areas.

After you join our High School Program, you may find you have a greater interest in training more intensely and racing in a more competitive environment. At that point, the time has come for you to join our Performance Program.

Performance Program

The Performance Program competes in Florida and other states. Highlights include the Head of the Hooch Regatta in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the US Rowing National Championships, Head of the Charles, and others.  Our coaching staff determines the regatta schedule each season but expect 3-5 races in the fall and 3-6 races in the spring.

Each year, our rowers are recruited to and attend top colleges. Some continue rowing, others take lessons with them. Our graduates have attended Drexel, Georgetown, Harvard, La Salle University, University of Louisville, University of Florida, University of South Florida, Bucknell, and Stanford, just to name a few.

Our rowers are here because they are passionate about the sport and their team. We welcome you to join us today!

PLEASE NOTE:  If a student-athlete from another FSRA program would like to join the Sarasota Scullers, they are more than welcome. Transfers must comply with current FSRA rules.
