Why I Coach at Shipley
Shipley Rowing offers the most comprehensive Lower, Middle, and Upper School rowing programs in the region. With state-of-the-art facilities right on campus, we’re able to introduce students of all ages to rowing in a safe, dynamic, and supportive environment. This positions us at the forefront of long-term athletic development and allows us to focus on foundational skills that are too often overlooked.

Rowing is a sport uniquely suited to building community, resilience, and lasting life skills. On our team, we say, “Rowing unites, teams transform.” If you’re looking for a place to form lifelong friendships, create resilience that translates in all avenues of life and to build healthy habits that will last a lifetime, you’ll find it all here at Shipley.
