Mission Statement
The University of Cincinnati Rowing Club competes at a national level. We welcome any UC student with the desire and determination to be a part of this team, no experience necessary.
We Want You!
The team returns to training in August and we hope to see you! UCRC is recruiting rowers who are strong and disciplined athletes that want to propel their boat. The team also needs coxswains, who are loud, proud, guides of the larger boats. Most of our athletes have joined with no previous experience, so accept the challenge of trying something new and maybe you'll love it as much as we do. You can become a rower or coxswain by reaching out to our recruiting chair, Dave Patel, at ucrc.recruiting@ucmail.uc.edu. Check out our future race schedule and remember, we'll teach you the basics, so no experience is necessary!
