“Rowing is perhaps the toughest of sports. Once the race starts, there are no time-outs, no substitutions. It calls upon the limits of human endurance. ”
-- George Pocock
Did you know that high school rowers are 36 times more likely to receive a college scholarship than athletes in any other sport?
Crew is just like every other Varsity sport at Fairfax High School with the single exception that we must provide our own funding, since the equipment, insurance and coaches result in higher costs and not every FCPS high school is able to field a crew team. Team fundraising accounts for half the funding, while dues support the other half. Scholarships are available from the team as well as outside sources to ensure the sport is affordable for all and that dues should never prevent someone from rowing. Like other Varsity sports, crew team members are eligible to earn a Varsity Letter (by meeting established criteria), and have access to FHS trainers and facilities.
