There are no tryouts or cuts for Malvern’s rowing team, and all students are welcome to learn this incredible sport. Malvern’s rowing team welcomes any Malvern student to try rowing through mid-February. The team is currently practicing indoors at the Melton Rowing Center on campus, next to the Strength & Conditioning Center. Your son is encouraged to come by after school and give rowing a try. More information on Malvern’s rowing program is available on our Malvern Rowing blog.

Being a part of the Malvern brotherhood is a lifelong benefit. We also hope your son benefits from being a member of our rowing team. If you have any questions about Malvern’s rowing team, please reach out to Coach Craig Hoffman at (610) 812-6957 or choffman@malvernprep.org  or to any of the rowing parents listed below.
