Application Process
Our process evaluates four key areas:
Click HERE to apply now and take the next step in your rowing journey!
USRowing will host two 2026 U19 HP Winter Camps with the purpose of identifying and developing athletes for the 2025 U19 National Team. These camps will be by invitation only and will accept applications for admittance to camp. Athletes admitted to camp will participate in small boat training, physiological testing (lactate step test) and a U19 Winter Speed Order. Athletes with the goal of being selected to the 2026 U19 National Team that will compete at the 2026 World Rowing Championships are HIGHLY encouraged to apply. Dates and location are TBD.
The goal of Pathways Development Camp is to set you up with the tools and skills to reach your rowing goals. This camp is led by an excellent group of Olympians and college coaches, so athletes will gain excellent insight into what it takes to succeed in the sport.
Height, weight, and erg scores are taken into account when assessing applications. If you are significantly over the “target” ranges, we do not want to put you in an environment that is reaching too far beyond your current age or development.
The intention and execution of each camp is very similar, the biggest difference being the skill level of the athletes attending each camp. Both camps will spend the majority of the time in small boats with an emphasis on overall development.
A team focused competition in a range of boat classes on July 14-16 at Chula Vista, Calif. Some of the other countries participating are Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, etc.
72 athletes (32 rowers and 4 coxswains per gender) will be invited to Selection Development Camp. All Selection Development Camp Athletes will participate in the international regatta at the end of camp.
No, while the camps will both be at Chula Vista, they will run independently with no overlap of athletes between camps.
40 Athletes (18 rowers and 2 coxswains per gender) will be invited to Selection Camp. This is the number needed to field a four, quadruple sculls, eight, and two alternates per gender.
*it is possible that additional invitations will be issued if boats fail to qualify through trails (double, pair)
We fully anticipate the four with coxswain being eliminated from the World Rowing Program. This change will be formally announced in March. There are no plans for the event to be at any subsequent World Championships starting in 2025.
These athletes will not be named to the 2025 U19 National team
Note: 95% is an achievable standard that ensures we’re sending boats to Worlds that will be competitive (perform in the top half of the field).
We are requiring that coxswains must be practicing and racing in eights that are going World Class Speed (see chat below) in order to be considered for U19 Selection Camp.
