The Alabama women’s rowing team will hold an informational meeting for current full-time Alabama students who are interested in becoming NCAA Division I athletes.

The informational meeting for potential walk-ons will be held Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Bill Battle Academic Center in Bryant Hall Room 247. In addition to providing information about the program and what it takes to be an Alabama rower, those who are interested will have the opportunity to fill out NCAA paperwork and begin the process of becoming a student-athlete.

The rowing program is looking for athletic, hardworking, highly competitive and dedicated women to join the 2012-13 Tide team. The rowing team is not a club team – this is a varsity program, and those who make the team could potentially earn a scholarship.

No prior rowing experience is needed to join the team, and those who make the cut could be competing for Alabama as an NCAA Division I student-athlete in less than six weeks.
