Haddonfield Crew is a full Varsity sport for both boys and girls at Haddonfield Memorial High School. It was established in 2003, as interest in high school rowing in South Jersey was growing. For the first several years, the club rowed out of a ramshackle ramp near the Cuthbert Avenue bridge over the Cooper River in Cherry Hill. In the summer of 2006, the Camden County Boathouse opened on the Cooper River in Pennsauken and the club bunked in with several other high school, college and independent crew clubs. The Boathouse is located on Cooper River, which is considered one of the best rowing venues in the country and regularly hosts many scholastic, collegiate and master level events including the IRA Championships, the Ivy League Championships, the Garden State Championships, the SRAA National Championship, and the Masters Club Nationals.
Haddonfield competes in many major regattas in the Mid-Atlantic region, considered the cradle of American rowing. Races include the Manny Flicks Series on the Schuylkill River, the Stotesbury Regatta (the largest high school regatta in the country) and the Scholastic Rowing Association National Regatta, which determines high school national champions. The hard work and dedication of our rowers has been rewarded with medals obtained at all levels of competition.
Crew provides athletes with an opportunity to compete at the collegiate level and many club rowers have obtained scholarships and other assistance to row for their college or university. Many of Haddonfield Crew's rowers have gone on to row in a number of colleges and universities across the United States, including: University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, SMU, Clemson, Drexel, Stanford, Haverford, University of Vermont and many others.
Haddonfield Memorial High School has been the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association "ShopRite Cup" winner for Best High School Athletic Program in New Jersey (Group 2) for TEN consecutive years and the Haddonfield Crew varsity athletes are proud to represent such a successful athletic program.
In Spring 2022, Haddonfield Crew Club introduced the new Six week Middle School Learn To Row Program which has excited the Haddonfield community. The HMS Middle School program will feed into our Freshman Crew Team program which will increase our team enrollment allowing more opportunities for diverse boat lineups and rosters.
