UCLA Women's Rowing, Walk-On
Athletes Wanted! Join UCLA’s Rowing Program.
The women’s rowing program is looking for driven, dedicated young women to try out for the team. Do you think you have what it takes to be a student-athlete at UCLA? Are you interested in adding to the storied legacy of one of the nation’s most successful athletic departments? Did you play a sport at the varsity level in high school and want to see if rowing is for you?
No previous rowing experience is necessary.
Rowing is among the few collegiate sports to offer walk-on opportunities, with no prior experience needed. The women’s rowing program is always looking for students with an athletic background, who have a willingness to try something new while showing their fit and fight. In addition, student-athletes who join the program have opportunities to eventually earn athletic-based scholarships. More than half of the United States’ women’s rowing team at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games started their careers as college walk-ons.
For those who are interested in joining the women's rowing program, please contact assistant coach Marija Medelinskaite (email: marijam@athletics.ucla.edu).
