About
Each year this competition brings together top junior crews from Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas for two days of spirited racing, district championships and the opportunity to race at the USRowing National Youth Championship.
We would like to welcome as many volunteers as possible to join our community, but of course want to ensure the safety and well-being of said volunteers. To that extent, volunteers that are aged 13 - 15 will need to volunteer with their parent or guardian that is at least 18. Volunteers aged 16 - 17 will need to have their parents sign a waiver first and add them as a minor to express their permission. Volunteers 18+ will just need to have a current waiver on file! If you have any questions specifically, please feel free to reach out to nramos@riversportokc.org.
