Do I need previous rowing experience to join the team?

-Not at all, the majority of our current members had no rowing experience before joining the team.

How do I join the rowing team?

-Show up to one of our general meetings or a practice and go from there! Contact our President for more information.

How big is the team?

-The team has ranged in size over the past couple of years. Currently the team has around thirty active members.

What are the costs?

-Dues of $60 are paid to the team each semester. These dues cover the use of our facilities and our equipment. Along with the semester dues, members must pay for their own apparel and to go on regattas.

What does being a club sport mean?

-Being a club team, practice attendance is not mandatory. It basically comes down to: You get out of the sport what you put in. The more time you put in the better you will be. The commitment you put into the sport is completely up to you.

Where are regattas typically held?

-The team travels all over the Midwest with regattas in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin. SCSU Rowing also hosts their own regatta in the spring at Wilson Park.

Where does the team practice?

-During the fall, the team practices just upriver of the 10th Street bridge located near the heating plant. Over the winter, practices typically take place in Halenbeck Hall. The spring practices take place at Wilson park, which is located a few miles upriver from the campus directly across from the St. Cloud Hospital.

Any additional questions? Feel free to contact any of our Executive Board members or come to one of our weekly meetings in the Voyageur South room located in Atwood Memorial Center!

Community Members

One of the most exciting parts for the Saint Cloud State Rowing team is getting the community involved. Each fall and spring, the team holds Community Learn to Row Day. Anyone who wants to learn how to row is welcome to come out and you will have the opportunity to go out on the water in one of our boats along with current rowing team members. If you are interested in Community Learn to Row Day, please contact our President with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you out on the water!
