High Performance Partner Clubs

High Performance Partner Clubs focus on athletes who are not yet at the level of the Olympic Training Pool (OTP) or the Paralympic Training Pool (PTP). They are great training clubs for athletes with National Team aspirations transitioning out of collegiate programs.

OTP and PTP athletes who have geographical constraints also train in these locations. The HP Partner Clubs follow the same training plan as the OTP and PTP and have resources to support athletes as they balance training and careers. These resources vary by High Performance Partner Club. The coaches at these clubs are in constant communication with the USRowing's High Performance Head Coaches.

The current list of clubs that meet these criteria is below:
