PBC Women’s Sweep was revived in June 2018 by the concerted effort of female senior members who wanted to create an opportunity for women in the DMV area to row and train competitively. In just under two years, the roster has grown from just a few senior members who could fill a couple of small boats, to practices where we can field two eights and often another straight four.
The team practices at 5:15AM Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday practices and scrimmages. In the off-season, we continue to train on land Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with about the same early schedule.
If you would like to try out, send captain Carly an email at pbcwomensweep@gmail.com. We hold tryouts during the month prior to the start of each season; for Winter, tryouts will begin in November, and for Spring, tryouts will begin in February.
