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 Fall Parent Information Session presentation and contact our membership team at [email protected].
