Welcome to Raider Rowing
Shaker Heights Crew is a high school novice and varsity rowing team for both men and women, rowing on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. The teams train during the academic year, from fall head season through the Midwest Scholastic Rowing Championships in mid-May.
Shaker Heights Crew is a member of The Foundry in the Flats on Columbus Road.
Shaker Heights Crew is supported by the Shaker Heights School District and SHHS Crew Parents, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Chris Moody is the president of SHHS Crew Parents and can be reached at president@raiderrowing.org. Our head coach is Xavier Aniton (Coach X), who can be reached at aniton_x@shaker.org.
Our Mission: Shaker Heights High School Crew Parents, Inc. makes competitive rowing possible for every Shaker Heights High School student who wants to row. We fund boats, oars, ergs, and safety equipment; organize travel, lodging, and meals for regattas; and provide financial assistance so cost is never the reason a student cannot join. We support a fall club season, a district-sponsored spring season, and recruiting events that introduce new students to the sport.
Schedules
Shaker Heights Rowing runs two competitive seasons - fall and spring - with optional winter conditioning and summer opportunities through our boathouse, The Foundry. The spring is our “main” competitive season, as it contains our regional and national championships. Rowing is a varsity sport at SHHS in the spring. Athletes may participate in only spring, or spring and fall.
Practice is after school at the Foundry, with bus transportation provided by SHHS. Transportation to all of our away regattas is also provided.
Shaker Is Headed Back to the Charles!
After seven years away, Shaker Crew returns to the Head of the Charles in Boston. Our women's youth coxed four (4+) and men's youth eight (8+) race Sunday, October 18. Help every athlete selected for the trip be there.
Donate to Shaker Crew
Please keep our students rowing-ready by making a tax-deductible donation to the Shaker Heights Crew. Donations are used to pay fees, purchase new equipment, and repair our existing equipment.
