WINTER CONDITIONing - happening NOW! 

Just Keep Rowing...Just Keep Rowing...

Winter conditioning is available to ensure our rowers stay in shape and ready for the competitive Spring season. Winter brings us to James Madison High School, training on the erg machines and in the weight room. 

CREW AS A SECONDARY SPORT

In addition to rowers in Winter Conditioning, crew invites students in other sports to participate with us (Spring too if they can!). The act of rowing is arguably one of the best workouts for your body and benefits athletes in every sport. If you know of someone who plays tennis in the Fall, they are welcomed to join crew for Winter conditioning (no fee and no obligation).

SWIM TESTS 

If you're considering Crew, a swim test is required before going on the water for any activities (i.e., Learn-2-Row (L2R) 'Green-days', On-The-Water (OTW) Spring season practice, etc.). The actual test should only take about 5-10 minutes and includes laps and then a small-time treading water. Schedule a swim test by emailing Registrar@warhawkcrew.org. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Warhawk Crew is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization - please consider donating! 

FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!

The team is 100% financed and managed through the James Madison Crew Boosters Organization, Inc. (“JMCBO”), a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Madison Crew has experienced many successes in its 20-year history of hard work and focused training, while maintaining academic excellence. The men's and women's teams regularly compete on regional and national levels – and have won a Scholastic Rowing Association of America national championship.

Due to the lack of funding from Fairfax County Public School, we rely on corporations such as yours to be able to run a smooth operation and help our students win that championship. We appreciate and value your contribution.

Please consider sponsoring Warhawk Crew.  If you have any questions or are interested in helping out the team in a different way, please contact fundraising@warhawkcrew.org.
