High Performance Partner Clubs

About High Performance Partner Clubs

USRowing recognizes and appreciates all programs dedicated to developing high performance athletes. USRowing does distinguish a select group of clubs as High Performance Partner Clubs. 

A High Performance Partner Club is a rowing club that meets specific criteria set by USRowing to align with the program of the Olympic Training Pool —a structured, periodized training schedule followed by athletes preparing for the Senior World Championships in an Olympic event. These clubs work closely with USRowing’s High Performance (HP) coaching staff, ensuring their training environments reflect that of the USRowing National Team Training Centers and support the development of elite-level rowers. 

As official partners to the USRowing National Team Training Centers, these clubs provide a proven pathway for athletes striving for international success. They consistently train multiple rowers who are part of the current Senior National Team or Olympic Team and have a demonstrated track record of producing top competitors. By maintaining this standard, High Performance Partner Clubs play a crucial role in preparing athletes for national team selection and the highest levels of international competition.
