USRowing and Lowell Regattas, Inc. are excited to present the 2025 USRowing Northeast Youth Championships! This event provides crews from the region with the opportunity to qualify for the 2025 USRowing Youth National Championships.
Coaches & Athletes,
Below are updates from USRowing and the Youth National Championships Coaches' Council regarding the 2025 USRowing Northeast Youth Championships.
Youth Nationals Bids
Due to the weather-related cancellation of the 2025 USRowing Northeast Youth Championships, bids for the 2025 USRowing Youth National Championships will now be awarded through the petition process as outlined in the regatta’s entry packet:
“In instances where qualification events are canceled without completing any rounds, those crews will be required to submit a petition that includes results from the current season to demonstrate their placement within their district. These petitions will be given an expedited review, and the bids originally allotted for that regatta will be awarded based on the determinations of the committee.”
The Youth National Championships Coaches’ Council will review and vote on petitions and will communicate their decisions with USRowing. The petition process summary and timeline are as follows:
Petition Review Criteria
The Council will evaluate petitions based on the following guiding principles:
USRowing Northeast Youth Entry Fees
As outlined in our refund policy, once the standard entry period closes, we are unable to offer full refunds due to the non-recoverable costs already committed to the event.
Most of the weekend’s costs are non-recoverable — from venue rentals and equipment to staffing and safety services — and those expenses remain regardless of whether the regatta took place. We are finalizing the full scope of these costs and will assess whether we have savings to offer partial reimbursements. We will provide an update on entry fees by Friday, May 23. All entry fees will need to be paid by each team prior to a petition being accepted.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this process, and we remain committed to being fair and transparent in this decision.
Please let us know if you have questions, please email us at Competition@usrowing.org.
The 2025 USRowing domestic regatta entry packets were posted for a comment period to all members from December 1 to December 31, 2024. The final entry packet for the 2025 USRowing Northeast Youth Championships has now been published.
For more information about the venue, parking, team tents, and more, please refer to the entry packet linked above.

Volunteers are a critical component of all regattas. Our sport’s sustainability and success rely heavily on these dedicated supporters, who help ensure that our rowers, teams, coaches, spectators, and more have a safe, fair, and rewarding experience. The purpose of this policy is to provide additional volunteer support at USRowing-owned regattas to Local Organizing Committees (LOCs).
USRowing has teamed up with HBC Event Services to offer discounted accommodations for this event.
