Joining the Team
We're so excited you are considering joining Case Crew! See below for more information.
No Experience Necessary
The majority of our team starts without any experience rowing. All new members are on the novice team. The coaches and varsity members will help you through every step of the way.

2-Week Trial Period
The first two weeks of practice (at the start of the fall semester) is a free trial period. No commitment, just learning how to row.

Compete With Novices
Most of your novice teammates will be at the same stage in their rowing career as you, as will the majority of teams you will compete against in your first year. Our novice team typically performs very well in the fall!

CoxswainsCoxswains are small in size but play a big role on the team, steering and directing the boat on and off the water.
Just like rowers, no experience is necessary to become a coxswain, and our varsity coxswains will teach you everything you need to know. We love our coxswains, and can't wait to have you join us! Not sure what a coxswain is? Check out the link below to learn more. |
How it WorksOur team practices off site at Cleveland Rowing Foundation in Ohio City (map to the left). For evening practices, the novice team takes the RTA to and from the boathouse. At the start of the year, a varsity member will accompany you. For fall morning and Saturday practices, the varsity team will drive novices to and from practice. Novices switch from evening practices to morning practices towards the end of November to join in on winter training. In the beginning of each semester before classes start, a calendar will be posted on this page and our Instagram for the open boathouse and learn-to-row sessions.
