A warm welcome from the Friends of Notre Dame Rowing. We’re so glad you’ve found your way here. Whether this is your first introduction to rowing or you’ve cheered from a regatta shoreline before, welcome to the Notre Dame Rowing community.
Our team brings together student-athletes from across the country—and around the world—united by a shared spirit of determination, discipline, and teamwork. Behind every rower is a support system of family and friends who make this journey possible. Your encouragement, time, and presence—whether near or far—mean the world to them.
We know rowing can be a new and unfamiliar world for many parents. That’s why we’ve created a separate site just for you, filled with helpful information about the sport, regattas, travel logistics, volunteering, and ways to stay connected throughout the year.
As a parent or guardian, you’re an essential part of the Notre Dame Rowing story. By joining us, you also become part of FONDR (Friends of Notre Dame Rowing)—a growing network of alumni, parents, and supporters working together to sustain this special program. We’re grateful to have you with us. We hope this community feels like home. Row Irish. Always.
Please take a moment to fill out this form for both parents’/ guardians’. This information will be shared with current fellow parents/guardians as well as the Chair of FONDR (Friends of Notre Dame Rowing) Board.
