RIVERSPORT has always respected the traditions of rowing, but we are just as committed to taking the sport in new directions. Today, we’ve brought rowing to the forefront as a fast-growing youth sport across the metro. We have junior rowers from across the city on our teams including a large and growing number of Native American and Hispanic youth.

Despite being close to our city’s urban core, rowing hasn’t yet reached its full potential as part of our city’s Black urban youth sports culture. Until now.

Today, we are making a hard push to change that.

Through a grant from RIVERSPORT Board member Ronnie K. Irani and A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, RIVERSPORT is creating new scholarship opportunities to break down financial barriers. We are working with leaders in the Black community to break down cultural barriers. We are all pulling together to open doors.

We invite youth ages 12 to 18 to learn more about the opportunities the sport of rowing offers. The LA Olympic Games are coming in 2028.

Let’s make history.
