Capital Crew is a very successful, non-profit, competitive junior rowing program. It has been in existence since 1989 and is based at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center on Lake Natoma in Gold River, California.

Membership in Capital Crew is open to all high school students (9th thru 12th grade). All first year athletes are placed on the mens or womens novice squads. After completing one year at Capital Crew, the athlete is then placed on the mens or womens varsity squads.

Each year, many of our graduating seniors go on to colleges and universities to row competitively. Many of our athletes are awarded athletic scholarships to attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation. Mary Whipple, an alumni of Capital Crew, coxsed the Women’s 8+ and won tthe Silver medal in the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Capital Crew has the advantage of training on the same course that is used for qualifying races for the Youth Nationals. This “home field advantage” gives Capital a big competitive edge over other junior programs. In addition, the Aquatic Center facilities, meeting areas, weight room, artificial turf workout fields, and four bay boathouses are state of the art, making the Aquatic Center one of the finest rowing facilities on the West Coast!
