Utah Crew trains youth rowers between the ages of 13 and 18 and helps athletes develop their athleticism, team work, and social skills. Rowing develops a work ethic and dedication to excellence that impacts academics positively. With two distinct teams, Race and Recreational, there is a place for everyone on Utah Crew. Every child deserves the chance to develop their athleticism. Our inclusive environment and dedication to team culture are what make us successful. In recent years, we have won multiple regional titles and attended Youth and Club Nationals. Utah Crew has developed 100+ rowers since 2004. Rowing provides an excellent pathway to college recruitment and scholarships, as well. Visit the recruitment tab for more info.
