About

The Berkeley High women’s varsity crew team heads down the gangway at Jack London Aquatic Center.

Berkeley High Crew is the rowing team at Berkeley High School.  We are committed to building a strong community and supporting the personal, athletic, and academic excellence of all athletes. We strive to compete at the highest level while ensuring that rowing is accessible to all students.

The team is open to all Berkeley High students!

Current students can learn how to get involved on our Row with BHS page.  Middle school students are encouraged to participate in one of our summer Learn-to-Row camps.

Rowing is a demanding and incredibly fulfilling sport. Teams with a shared commitment and sense of purpose are able to maximize their potential.

Our alumni consistently succeed in college, both on and off the water. Some of our alums walk on to college varsity and club teams. And top-ranked public and private universities continue to recruit Berkeley High rowers and coxswains to their schools.

Our team is supported by Berkeley Crew, a 501c(3) charitable non-profit organization dedicated to offering a strong rowing program to all students at Berkeley High. Learn more on our Board page.
