How to Register for Woodson Rowing
Registration is a multi-step process. All parts are vital to ensure your athlete’s eligibility. Some items are required for winter conditioning, but ALL are required prior to on-the-water practice. Coaches are not allowed to let student athletes participate in either winter conditioning or spring practice if their registration is incomplete. To ensure your athlete is eligible to practice, please follow the guidance provided below.
