• There is No Experience necessary for you to row with us!
•  Boys & Girls Grades 7-12. Note: 7th & 8th graders can train and practice, but are not eligible to compete in the regattas. (This is great experience for when they can compete!)

• PRACTICES on the water are MONDAY-WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY 3:45-6:15pm and SATURDAYS from 10am to 1pm.

PLEASE NOTE:  This is a competitive rowing team - we need your full commitment to all practices and regattas. We need the whole team at every practice to ensure we can get on the water every day the weather conditions allow. 

Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!

●      We need your help to grow this team!

●      The more athletes we have, the easier it will be to purchase better boats, and decrease individual costs.

●      Have your student “talk it up” amongst his/her friends.

●      Parents, talk it up amongst your friends!

●      Join our Instagram & Facebook and share, share, share!

We have many volunteer roles for parents: communications, spiritwear, carpooling, fundraising, etc. We need EVERY FAMILY to volunteer in some capacity.

We currently have no plans for a chuckwagon this season as no parents have offered to help. If anyone wants to step up, please reach out.

Those interested in helping should email Crew.admin@GVCO.org.

It's time for everyone in our Great Valley community to GIVE BACK. The community's support over the past six years has been tremendous [Donor List (2/28/25) ].

Let's finish what we started, paying off the debt and moving forward with the next phase of the project. To do this, the support must continue and be more broad based.

We are asking for help from the entire Great Valley private, public and business community!
