PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Rowing at Forest Hills Northern is a no-cut, co-ed, club sport with varsity status in the spring high school athletic season.  The FHN Rowing (Crew) program is made up of rowers, coxswains, and coaches working together to compose a team. This ultimate team sport combines strength, endurance, and technique to create a crew that can synchronize their strokes to propel their "shell" (or boat) through the water.

​

Teams travel together to races, called Regattas.  Due to the limited number of opportunities to row prior to high school, no experience is necessary. 

​

As a club sport, financial support comes primarily from rower fees and fundraising efforts. FHN Rowing Parent Advisory Board is a part of the FHPS Boosters, a 501(c)3, Nonprofit Organization.  The daily operations of the rowing team is the responsibility of the head coach. Coach(es) are employees of FHPS.  

​

The FHPS Boathouse is a shared park and facility for all FHPS rowing clubs. The FHPS Boathouse is located at Michael McGraw Park, 8400 Grand River Drive SE,

Ada, MI  49301.
