How to Register for Woodson Crew

Registration is a multi-step process. All parts are vital to ensure your rower’s eligibility to participate in crew. 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 rower is eligible to practice, please follow the guidance provided below. 

If you have any questions about participating in crew, you can review the 2023-2024 Fall Parent Information Session presentation and contact our membership team at [email protected].

FIRST STEP: Register and pay for Woodson Rowing.
If you have more than one student-athlete competing for Woodson Crew this season, please note that you will only be able to register one rower at a time. After registering your first rower, you will be given the opportunity to link back to the homepage to register your second rower.

SECOND STEP: Complete the Woodson High School Activity Registration HERE.
If you have not already done so, you must complete the new Woodson Athletic & Activity registration in order to participate in any sport at Woodson High School.

You must complete both of these online registration processes and submit all required forms noted below prior to participation in any winter conditioning session or if not participating in winter conditioning, before on-the-water rowing practice. No exceptions will be allowed.
