Varsity Rowing League
Sponsored by INASMUCH Foundation
Varsity rowing creates opportunities for students to develop discipline, resilience, teamwork, and leadership while building a pathway toward collegiate success both academically and athletically.
The Rowing Ecosystem
- Over 15,000 competitive youth rowers nationwide
- A non-traditional sport ideal for adolescents and teens who have not yet found their sport.
- A competitive alternative for hardworking students currently sitting the bench in traditional sports.
- Repetitive endurance sports like rowing improve classroom focus and academic discipline.
- Non-contact sport with low injury rates.
The Rowing Pathway
- Strong pathway to competitive college admissions
- Rowing offers one of the highest rates of athletics scholarship opportunities due to significant collegiate investment relative to youth participation.
- Oklahoma City-based rowers have earned millions in athletic scholarships and enhanced financial aid packages since youth rowing began in 2001.
