The rowing program offers the student-athletes at Villa Maria a competitive rowing environment in which they can learn commitment, teamwork, grit, and determination. The goal to provide a positive, supportive learning environment in which our athletes can strive for excellence.
Villa Maria rowing is in its 3rd year of competition after two years in a club setting. The 2020 season is its first as a school-sponsored varsity sport.
The team’s boathouse, Hines Rowing Center is located in Conshohocken and we row on the Schuylkill River. The team typically races in Philadelphia on the Schuylkill and on the Cooper River in NJ. Spring races are sprint style races, either 1500 meters or 2000 meters long. The Hurricanes race in 7-10 regattas in the spring. Most races are on Sundays with a few championship races on Friday/Saturdays.
During the fall and spring seasons, on-water practices are held at the Whitemarsh Boat Club. Land training days and the optional winter workouts are held at Villa. Students take the bus to Spring weekday practices; transportation home from practice is not provided, as well as to weekend practices and most regattas.
