Villanova Men’s Rowing
The Program
OUR MISSION
At Villanova, our mission is to foster a community of dedicated student-athletes who share a passion for rowing. We are committed to cultivating teamwork, discipline, and perseverance through the sport of rowing. Our goal is to empower our members to reach their full athletic potential while maintaining a strong focus on academic excellence. Together, we strive to create an environment where every team member can develop both personally and athletically, and where our collective efforts drive us towards success on the water and in the classroom.
Row For Villanova
Sixty years on the Schuylkill, one crew at a time. We train five afternoons and a Saturday morning, race from the Head of the Housatonic to the ACRA National Championship, and open our boats to anyone — scholastic national champion or complete novice — with the work ethic to earn a seat.
