Michigan State University Crew Club Information

We are a student-run club, and as such our students and their academics come first. In order to accommodate everyone's class schedule we have the varsity practice early in the morning (ending in time to get back to campus for the first classes of the day at 8 am) and the novices practice in the evening (after all classes have ended). On weekends when there are no classes our team finally gets to see the river in daylight, as we typically practice during mid to late morning. While practicing in the dark is a necessary sacrifice, we take safety very seriously, which is why all rowing shells and coaching launches have lights for the bow (red/green) and stern (white). We have installed red and green lights on the end of the dock to make it easier for coxswains to land in the dark as well.
