Friends of Scholastic Crew is a community organization working to foster and further the interest of scholastic rowing in the Greater Rochester Area. We are a 501(c)3 organization made up of, and run by, people interested in crew and families with rowers from McQuaid Jesuit. Friends of Scholastic Crew serves as a legal, collegial conduit to raise funds, raise awareness, provide equipment and boathouse space, and foster the communication necessary for athletes and their school to participate in competitive scholastic rowing.
Since 2003, through the tireless effort of the community it serves, Friends of Scholastic Crew has been dedicated to elevating crew to the forefront of scholastic athletics and making it accessible to all students. As a non-profit organization, we have been supported and maintained by the volunteer work and contributions of many selfless individuals and families. Whether you’re a student athlete looking for your next big challenge, or a parent or community member interested in making a difference, learn more below about our organization and how you can get involved.
Leadership
It takes the help of so many to bring our mission and vision to fruition. Meet the leaders of our organization, from the coaching staff to the board of directors. These people bring energy, enthusiasm and high levels of dedication to the table every day.
Communication
All communication for the day to day administration of our program occurs through the Stack Team App in a private group. If you are an athlete or a parent or guardian of an athlete you will need to get signed up for the app in order to stay in the know!
Regattas
The culminating events of the season are the regattas that the boys compete in. If you're a friend, or family, alumni or just curious about what the sport is all about, we would love to have you join us at our hospitality tent. We look forward to seeing you there!

Joining Crew Has Benefits That Can Translate to so Many Areas of Life
Crew is all about teamwork. In this sport, you’ll make great friends, but you’ll also learn a multitude of skills that are vital across every aspect of your life. Not only will you get a total-body workout and improve your health by joining the team, but you’ll also build confidence, and learn to work well with others. Crew reinforces the importance of responsibility, accountability and leadership. It can even help you get into college, as many good schools are looking for students who are ready to handle the many challenges of life. Rowing presents a chance for you to prove your readiness to tackle those challenges.
