Who is Norcal Crew?
Norcal Crew has openings for high school men and women. We are a competitive club sport that invites high school students from the Peninsula to try out the sport of rowing. There is no experience required to join our Novice teams. Ideal candidates are able to commit time to an after school program; interested in becoming part of a fun and competitive team; and willing to develop themselves physically with strength, stamina and full-body conditioning.
