Yes, there are. Club rowing usually occurs in the summer and fall. There are several clubs whose membership includes rowers and coxswains from all the high school crews in the DC area. Rowing out-of-season is a great way to experience championship racing at the next level with other athletes who want to help their high school crew row faster in the spring. Thompson Boat Center, Old Dominion Boat Club, and Potomac Boat Club (sculling) are all excellent and only minutes from Yorktown High School. All of these programs have a proven track record of preparing top-notch rowers/coxswains for college admissions, and many Yorktown coaches are involved in coaching these programs.
