SRAA Regatta

The Scholastic Rowing Association of America (SRAA) Regatta, often referred to as “Scholastic Nationals,” is one of the oldest and most prestigious high school rowing championships in North America. Founded in 1935, it has served as a premier, season-culminating event for scholastic (school-based) crew programs.

SRAA returns to Oak Ridge, TN in 2026, with more than 160 individual youth/high school programs from all over the US expected to compete.

Schedule and Results available from here.

This is an invitation-only event. Invitations to this regatta are open to qualified crews of any public or private school given to the education of youth. A school may only qualify one boat per event category. Crews are invited based on their performance at a qualifying championship.

Volunteer at SRAA !

SRAA and the Local Organizing Committee are looking for a few volunteers to help make sure that the event runs smoothly this weekend. There are opportunities for skilled positions like driving a wakeless launch to easy positions like supporting the start and finish lines, holding boats as a stakeboat holder, and more.
