Virginia Rowing to Host Information Meetings and Open Tryouts for the Novice Rowing Squad
University of Virginia Rowing invites all first- and second-year athletic men to try out for the men’s novice rowing team.
Prior rowing experience is not required or even especially relevant. Athleticism and long-term potential are the most important issues.
Tryouts
Tryouts will take place on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 6 p.m. and Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at 8 p.m. at Slaughter Recreation Center. Come to whichever session suits your schedule. Only one is required.
Questions? Contact Ronnie Cantrell via email (ronnie@virginiarowing.org).

A Little Background:
Rowing at UVA is, without a doubt, one of the best things a person can do within his/her 4 years at the University. It is absolutely one of the best things happening on Grounds.
It’s demanding. It requires time and discipline — which, of course, scares some people away.
Don’t let it.
Students understand that they’re coming to college not to stay in their comfort zones, but rather to grow, to mature, to push into new territory. What not everyone accepts, however, is that it’s hard to do these things. Accept it, and rise to it. You can do it.
