Beginning in 1950 the
Arlington School District adopted a program that allowed the sport of rowing to
become part of the high school athletic landscape. Under the direction of the
Arlington Rowing Association that tradition continues today. We offer a fall
rowing program (structured as a club sport) and wholly supported by the ARA
itself. Our spring program is similar to conventional varsity sports and we
compete in several major rowing events in the northeast. The team is composed of
both boys and girls who attend Arlington High School.
Our Mission:
The Arlington Rowing
Association exists for the sole purpose of coordinating the efforts necessary to
support our team. Through the combined efforts of the ARA's officers,
trustees, coaching staff, faculty liaison and many parents; we buy, sell,
repair, and maintain equipment, conduct vital fundraising campaigns, publish a
newsletter, provide wholesome meals at rowing events and proudly cheer on our
athletes as they compete.
Please use our web site to
get important information on upcoming events, practice times, fundraisers,
directions to regatta locations, volunteering and more. The Frequently Asked
Questions and About Rowing pages are published to help the families of our new
athletes learn more about this sport and its proud tradition here in the Hudson
Valley.

ATTENTION ROWERS AND PARENTS: Parents, please have athletes listen
closely to the end of the day announcements at school. In the event of a change
our only rapid option is to have an announcement made at school. Generally, if
we have a problem, we call one of the other coaches, and advise them to assist
with our squad. Thank you!
