Students interested in rowing and/or coxing, here are some quick things you need to know (trying to be brief and avoid TLDR territory):
- Practice starts Monday. Attending creates no requirements of you. Come try the sport; see if it’s for you. The answer may be no, but you can’t decide without trying. Can’t be there day 1? That’s fine.
- Weekday (M-F) practice is 1530-1800 at the boathouse (Lakewood Park). Saturday practice is 0800-1100. There are options for arriving late or leaving early, with adequate justification. Not all practices are required.
- Bring a water bottle. Those who need them must bring their inhalers and/or epi-pens.
- Get your sports physical (https://www.npsk12.com/Page/1934) ASAP. You can’t train hard without one.
- Everyone is welcome at our team (well… except those who would act counter to this maxim). We have athletes joining from several schools; excellent!
- Don’t see info you want, please ask for it. Or… almost any question you have about our team can be answered by looking through the website. FAQs for novices are here: https://granbycrew.com/recruiting/frequently-asked-questions/about-joining/.
We are enthusiastic to have each of you as teammates. Help us help you join the club. Coach Paul
