Home --> Crew Info --> What is Crew?In case you are new to the sport of crew, this section is for you. Hylton High School Crew is a Varsity sport at C.D. Hylton High School and is just starting its 14th year (2007-2008) of competition as a member of the National Capital Area Scholastic Rowing Association. We are open to all Hylton students and no prior experience is required! Our team size has been fluctuating between fifty to eighty rowers for the last five or six years. We are very fortunate to have a premier coaching staff that provides the optimal training atmosphere for our Men's and Women's teams. Our rowers are enthusiastic about the upcoming racing season and are looking forward to improving on our tremendous successes of the past years.
Why Crew?Crew is a great sport for all high school students. Crew is unique in that all rowers come to high school with the same level of experience; they are all beginners! Among all the sports, there is nothing that approaches Crew for the sense of teamwork – there is no "Most Valuable Player" in Crew. Everything relies on the Team pulling together as one. This sense of teamwork, of working together, extends beyond the water: Crew teammates are some of the closest friends you will have throughout your time at Hylton! Finally, there is the fact that Crew is as much mental as it is physical. The same learned drive and dedication used to row a Crew shell to victory translates into the focus required in the achievement of academic excellence while in High School and beyond, into College. Many of our rowers go on to attend prestigious colleges and universities and many continue their rowing into their college years. How is Crew Supported?Crew is supported primarily through fund raising by the rowers, parents, and friends or Crew. The Booster's Executive Committee coordinates all fund raising. If you are a parent of a current or former rower, we would gladly accept any help you can offer! You should also read about a typical year of Crew.
