| Fordham Crew Boats on the Harlem River |
One of Fordham’s twenty-three division I sports is rowing.
Girls are recruited to Fordham’s DI rowing team from all over the world- from
Europe to the South Pacific. Yet, what has added great depth and
record-breaking scores to the team are the girls who join the team as walk-ons.
Fordham offers a novice rowing team for men and women,
respectively. The novice team teaches men and women how to row and helps them
make the transition to either a DI level for women, or a competitive club level
for men. Like the women’s DI and men’s club team, the novice team requires a
great time commitment; the novice team can also be found practicing on the
Harlem River at 6am with the varsity teams.
The novice team is great way to meet new people, work out,
and add structure to your life. I joined
the novice team my freshman year not knowing exactly what to expect. Now three
years later, I am the women’s varsity 8 coxswain and captain.
