Crew Connection Webinar
What are they?
Our college recruiting webinars are a chance to hear directly from the coaches who make the decisions. They provide a low-pressure opportunity to learn more about the U.S. collegiate system, understand how recruiting really works, and gain clarity on what coaches are actually looking for.
Athletes can submit questions in advance via the registration form, and the discussion is facilitated by Sholto and Jack to ensure practical, honest insight.
All attendees remain anonymous, cameras off and names hidden, so athletes and parents can listen comfortably from anywhere in the world.
This is a free event - simply register using the link to secure your place.
Who are they for?
These webinars are for any athlete considering studying and rowing in the U.S.
Parents are strongly encouraged to join. This is an opportunity to understand the system properly, ask informed questions, and learn what really matters in the recruiting process.

With your consent, this information can be shared with attending coaches ahead of the webinar, giving them context on who is in the audience and which athletes may align with their program.
Submission is entirely optional, but it’s a proactive way to demonstrate interest.
