Become part of one of the most rewarding and challenging high school sports! HHS Rowing
Club gives student-athletes the opportunity to compete in the Olympic sport of rowing while
developing strength, endurance, teamwork, leadership, discipline, and lifelong friendships.
We are proud to provide local student-athletes with the opportunity to train and compete at a high
level while representing our school and community.
Registration in the fall covers the entire 2026–2027 rowing season, from August through the end of April, concluding with the Florida Scholastic Rowing Association Regattas (FSRA).
The fall season is dedicated to building the skills, fitness, and teamwork needed for a successful spring racing season. Because of this, we strongly encourage all new athletes to join in the fall to receive the full benefit of our training program.
If the team qualifies for the Scholastic Rowing Association of America National Championship Regatta (SRAA) at the end of May, families of qualifying athletes are responsible for the costs associated with attending Nationals, as those expenses are not included in annual team fees.

HHS Rowing Club is a nonprofit organization. Athlete registration fees cover only a portion of
the annual cost of operating our program. The continued success of our club depends on the
support of our families through fundraising and volunteer service.
Together, these efforts allow us to maintain our equipment and create exceptional opportunities
for our athletes.
Our team thrives because of the dedication of our families. Volunteers play an essential role in
making regattas, events, fundraising activities, and team operations successful. Every
contribution helps provide outstanding experiences for the team.
