Dallas United Crew to Hold Fall 2016 Rowing Tryouts on August 20
Dallas, TX, August 13, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Dallas United Crew will hold tryouts for its fall 2016 high school travel rowing team on August 20, 2016 at CrossFit Lake Highlands. Interested students must be entering the 9th-12th grades in the fall. No previous rowing experience or equipment is necessary. Dallas United Crew (DUC) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit rowing organization based on White Rock Lake that has programs for people of all ages and abilities.
The one-hour tryouts from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the CrossFit Lake Highlands, 9850 Walnut Hill Lane #405 Dallas, Texas 75238, are an opportunity for students and parents to learn more about the sport and for students to try a new set of skills. Students from schools across the Metroplex, participate in Dallas United’s various rowing programs. Varsity athletes on DUC teams have opportunities to travel and race across the United States, as well as compete against international teams, providing an experience not often seen with other sports. Additionally, rowing prepares students for opportunities in competitive collegiate rowing. In fact, college admissions data shows that rowing offers the highest percentage of college scholarships for both boys and girls.
“Rowing is the oldest intercollegiate sport in the United States and offers one of the greatest scholarship opportunities for student athletes,” said Rebecca George, Dallas United Varsity Women’s coach. “Besides college scholarships, rowing also has the non-contact component. As concussion awareness grows for young athletes, parents are looking for alternative options in order to fulfill the PE credit required to graduate high school. Additionally, we are very proud of our financial assistance program. To date, we have been able to provide a substantial amount of financial assistance to rowers who demonstrate a need, so they will have the opportunity to participate in our rowing programs.”
