Participation Fees

There are several factors which affect an athlete’s total annual cost of rowing. The number of seasons an athlete competes in is the main factor. Below you will find our fee structure.

Note: Our fee structure will changed in the fall of 2023! Click here to access information about our new streamlined fee structure.

Seasonal Fees

A typical year for the juniors has four separate seasons: fall, winter, spring, and summer. Seasonal fees are paid by an athlete for each season the athlete participates. These fees cover junior coaching costs, all local and traveling regatta costs, general membership costs to administer the club, overhead costs, etc.

  • Fall - $1300-1500

  • Winter - $650-850

  • Spring - $1550-$1850

  • Summer -

Selection Regattas

The team typically attends two selection regattas each year. These are regattas where the athletes are selected to compete or a crew earns their spot in the regatta.

  • Fall: Head of the Charles, Boston, MA (Select varsity only) - $575 to $650 range

  • Spring: Youth National Championships (Qualifying crews only) - $650 to $750 range

Other Costs

There are other incidental costs to participation but these are minimal (i.e. uniform, local regatta travel, etc.)
