Mission

To foster, and conduct national and international amateur sports competition, and to support and develop amateur athletes for national and international competition in the sport of rowing.

Background

Nashville Rowing was started in 1986 by a small group of adult rowers looking to build a rowing community here in Nashville. In it's current form, Nashville Rowing began in 2013 with the addition of the Juniors programming and greatly expanded Adult programming. Nashville Rowing currently has members from Davidson, Williamson, and Sumner counties as well as middle and high school athletes from 28 schools in the greater Nashville Area. As a life cycle club, we strive to provide programming for interested athletes at all ages and stages of life!

Impact

Our goal is to facilitate the gaining of skills that not only allow our participants to compete at the highest level, but that can be transferrable to their lives as members of a greater community. In our 6 years of having youth rowing programs, we have had as many as 7 athletes per year earn scholarships to row in college at some of the top programs in the nation. With our young athletes attending schools across the country, it has been a great example for our new younger athletes to see the doors that rowing may help open for them! We have athletes at both the youth and adult levels competing and performing and succeeding at the regional, national and international levels, but most importantly we have established ourselves as a life-cycle program, where programs feed each other from Middle School Development all the way up to Adult Competitive programs.

Needs

Most pertinent needs:Facilities (accessible training space for youth and adult programs)Capital Equipment ($40,000 for new 8 person rowing shell)Diesel Pickup Truck with towing capability Midweight and Heavyweight single shells ($7,000-$10,000)

CEO Statement

Nashville Rowing is growing community of passionate athletes and coaches, both seasoned and new to the sport of rowing. As our mission statement says, one of our goals is to help develop amateur athletes for both national and international competition, but we are also looking to expand opportunities in rowing here in Nashville and the Southeast. That means the platform and programming for the all parts of our greater Nashville community to experience the array of opportunities that rowing can offer. Whether it is life long fitness, college scholarships, or simply the chance to be part of a bigger team and family, Nashville Rowing hopes to continue growing and providing those experiences to more and more people!
