About Us

See what USC Crew is all about!



Founded in the fall of 1989, Upper St. Clair Crew is in it's 22nd year of rowing. Now under the leadership of coaches RJ Pisani and Hope Feldman, the team sports a strong foundation of dedicated rowers with great parental support backing the club. USC Crew pays entirely for all it's equipment; because the school recognizes Crew as a club sport and not a varsity sport (although letters are still issued), Crew relies entirely on fundraising.

USC Crew rows a total of seven different boats of various shapes and sizes:

  • Vi Sees! - 2007 Vespoli Advantage 8+ (recently purchased!)
  • Intrepid - 2001 Vespoli DM Racer 8+
  • Serendipity - 2001 Vespoli DM Racer 4+
  • William A. Pope - 1998 Vespoli DM Racer 4+
  • Thomas B. Sapienza - 1995 Vespoli DM Racer 4+
  • Annabelle - 2005 Dirigo 4+
  • Gemini - 1999 Vespoli DM Racer 2x/-

Upper St. Clair Crew utilizes the Three Rivers Rowing Association (TRRA) boathouse for the storage of boats and for conducting fall and spring practices. The team practices from 4-8pm Monday-Thursday (including travel time), and 8:00-12:00am on Saturday mornings. We also train at the Upper St. Clair High School during the winter conditioning season.
