 The Radnor Girls Crew Club is recognized as a club sport with the endorsement of Radnor High School.  We are supported through our seasonal dues and are governed by a board comprised of parent volunteers. We have requested and receive financial support from the Radnor Township School Board that is set on a per athlete basis.  This only provides a small portion of our required funding, which is why we must charge dues.

Our team races in 8+ or 4+ events, and we participate in Freshman, Novice, Junior Varsity and Varsity events, including lightweight.

The club was started in 1996.  We've built a competitive team comprising approximately 40-50 athletes and now require "try-outs" for first-time athletes.  The Radnor Girls Crew Club is among the top ranked public school girls' sweep teams in the Philadelphia area.  During the 2009 Philadelphia Scholastic Rowing Association season, our club was at the top of that ranking and placed third amongst all teams.
