Rowing recruiting questions
How to get recruited for college rowing, what to send coaches and how AthleticScholar works.
How do I get recruited for college rowing?
Email the coaches at programs that fit you. Lead with your 2K erg time, height and weight, and side, include a video of you rowing in a boat or on the erg, and follow up after a week and again after your next regatta. Most recruits contact 30 to 60 programs across more than one division.
What is the best rowing recruiting website?
The best recruiting website is the one that actually gets you in front of coaches. Profile sites wait for coaches to find you. AthleticScholar emails 951 college rowing coaches for you from your own Gmail and follows up automatically, for $30/month after a 7-day free trial.

What should I put in an email to a college rowing coach?
Your grad year, your 2K erg time, height and weight, and side, your GPA and a video of you rowing in a boat or on the erg. Put your most important numbers in the subject line and say why that program interests you.
How do I find a college rowing coach's email?
Coaches' emails are usually listed in each school's athletics staff directory. AthleticScholar has verified emails for 951 college rowing coaches, so you can message them without looking each one up.
When should I start emailing college rowing coaches?
Many recruits start in their freshman or sophomore year of high school. You can email a coach at any age, though NCAA rules limit when Division I and Division II coaches can reply, so starting early puts you on their list before those dates.
What GPA do you need to play college rowing?
To compete in NCAA Division I you need at least a 2.3 GPA in 16 core courses, and Division II requires at least a 2.2. Division III, NAIA and junior college programs set their own academic standards, so check with each school.
How much do rowing recruiting services cost?
Recruiting services often charge $1,000 or more for a package. AthleticScholar is $30/month after a 7-day free trial, with no contract, and you choose every program you contact.
Do Division III rowing programs offer scholarships?
No. Division III schools don't offer athletic scholarships, but most athletes there receive academic or need-based aid. Division I, Division II, NAIA and junior college programs can offer athletic scholarships.
