Our Mission

The mission of New Canaan Crew is to provide an enriching and rewarding team sport for student-athletes interested in the physical and competitive challenges and in developing rowing skills and knowledge as an important part of their overall education experience.

New Canaan Crew will provide the environment to gain these rewarding experiences in both training and competitive situations and permit each student-athlete to advance, whether as a novice rower or an experienced competitive rower.

New Canaan Crew’s mission will always place the growth, development, and needs of our student-athletes first since their safety, well-being and personal progress are our first priorities. This mission will be accomplished by building collaborative relationships with key New Canaan stakeholders in the rowing club including students, parents, coaching staff, the Board of Education, New Canaan High School Athletic Department, NC Sports Counsel, The Advertiser, the community, local merchants, and other local and regional rowing organizations.

New Canaan Crew is a non-CIAC  (Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference) controlled sports team for interscholastic competition. Members of the New Canaan Crew team will comply with the CIAC Rules of Eligibility during the Spring Season in order to compete for the New Canaan Crew team.
