U19 and U23 Trials Registrations Are Open.

U19 and U23 Trials registrations are now open. Registration will close on May 30, 2025. The U19 trials will take place in Sarasota, Florida at Nathan Benderson Park on June 16-17. Trials boats for the U19 trials are the men’s and women’s single sculls, double sculls, and pair. The U23 trials will take place June 12-13 in West Windsor, NJ at the Caspersen Rowing Center. The events are the men’s and women’s single sculls, double sculls, pair, lightweight single sculls, lightweight double sculls, and the PR3 single sculls.

Both trials will begin with an initial time trial. The top six finishers from each event will progress to the final. To qualify for the national team, crews must win their event and finish within USRowing’s Competitive Standard Time (CST). The CST is in place to ensure that all selected crews meet the level to be representatives of the U.S. national team’s minimum time standards as part of the selection procedures. The competitive standard times can be found in the selection procedures. 

Following the registration deadline on May 30, 2025, USRowing will host a U19 and U23 Trials CST Meeting, which is mandatory for all registered crews. Each crew must be represented by either a coach or an athlete. The date and time of the meeting will be announced before the May 30 deadline.
