High Performance Center Rowing Talent ID

Identifying athletes with the potential to successfully represent the United States at the World Rowing Championships and Olympic Games is a major objective of the OKC National High Performance Center.

Oklahoma City hosts several ID camps throughout the year to determine the ability of potential athletes and conducts ongoing talent assessment of both U23 and senior athletes in lightweight and open weight categories. The goal is not only to develop new elite athletes from the pool of existing young rowers but to recruit athletes from other sports to rowing.

2024 December Training Camp

The camp is for athletes who are looking to work with other U19/U23 National Team hopefuls, improve small boat skills, increase core strength and mobility. The training camp will be run by coaches Reilly Dampeer and one other coach.

Our vision in Oklahoma is to impact the podium at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The Oklahoma City National High Performance Center has played an important role in developing world-class athletes over the past ten years and continues to grow that legacy. We are committed to developing our future Olympic rowers. The Oklahoma City National High Performance Center is hosting a Summer Program for highly-motivated U19 and U23 athletes. This program provides framework for developing and improving small boat skills and race performance. Through intensive technical work, focused training and racing, athletes will build their stroke and refine their approach to competition. This program is for athletes who have the long-term goals of competing in World Championships and the Olympic Games.
