Hello,
You're in luck because crew team welcomes walk-ons.
How do I walk-on?
About a week into Plebe Summer, afternoon sports will start. On that day, every plebe gets the opportunity to pick a sport to participate in over the summer. You will choose crew, and the detailers will take you to the boat house. You will go to the boat house about 28 times over plebe summer and get the chance work out on the rowing machine, go out on the water, & get to know the women's crew team.
If you decide Crew is the sport for you, you will continue going to crew practice when the academic year starts.
I did HWT Crew over plebe summer & really enjoyed it. It was nice to get to know a new sport. I continued with crew about a week into the academic year & then decided it was not for me, and pursued a club sport which I love.
Like I said earlier, the crew team loves walk-ons, and the women's team doesn't cut people. So, if you want to pursue crew, just go for it the first day of sports period over plebe summer.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
