USRowing Embarks on an Exciting New Journey with CrewLAB to Revolutionize Team Management and Training


USRowing is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with CrewLAB, a pioneering team management system designed by rowers and their coaches to bolster team unity and provide critical tools to make coaches' lives easier.

CrewLAB offers an array of essential resources to both facilitate program development and deepen athletes' commitment. Key features include a unified communication center, an integrated team calendar, comprehensive video storage, and a detailed training log. These elements work in tandem to yield actionable insights, empower teams, and help coaches scale their impact as their roles continually evolve.

"The CrewLAB team is FIRED UP to be able to contribute to teams everywhere," said CrewLAB Founder & CEO, Dominic Pardini. "We've seen transformative benefits in so many of our partner teams already. For me, there's nothing more inspiring than a visionary coach leading a crew that is bought in. That's an experience that changed my life, and I want to share with all!"

USRowing will provide all active member organizations with an extended free trial to CrewLAB and an exclusive member discount after the free trial expires. Each organization will receive tailored, priority onboarding support from CrewLAB to customize the platform to their specific needs.

Rich Cacioppo, USRowing's Executive Director, shared his excitement: "This collaboration with CrewLAB is a strategic step to enrich our member organizations. Their focus on the coach experience and athlete retention – backed by a robust platform – is a perfect match with our priority to help our member organizations sustain and grow."

"Partnering with CrewLAB introduces vital resources to our members, facilitating marked improvements in program management," said Amanda Kraus, USRowing CEO. "We're thrilled to help our organizations harness resources to flourish and strengthen."

"It's an honor to support exceptional rowing leaders that I respect like Chris Chase, Greg Hughes, and Drew Ginn, who are all doing innovative things for the benefit of their athletes. I've been coaching forever, and it feels awesome to be part of a collaboration that serves coaches at a national level," said Simon Hoadley, head coach and founder at CrewLAB.
