Hi Everyone,
This post contains important information regarding Fall Varsity Boys Crew tryouts. Please read carefully.
Due to a high number of registrations, there will be a significant number of cuts through tryouts than in the past. This means many of you will not be able to train on the water with the team this season even if you have participated in one or or even six prior seasons.
Here are the factors and criteria the boys varsity coaches will take into consideration during the tryouts process:
1. All registration paperwork has been successfully submitted to the school by 8/13
2. Demonstrated commitment to the team
a. Will attend all practices and all races with limited exceptions
b. Previous seasons on varsity
3. Physical fitness: Thursday, September 5th, 3:30 PM at Russell Field, athletes will complete a 30 minute erg piece. The scores will be weight adjusted. The top 20 athletes will be given extra consideration during the tryout process.
4. Technical Skills: Willingness to learn and ability to follow instructions
5. Behavior, Attitude, Good Sportsmanship
TRYOUT DATES: Tryouts will start on Tuesday, September 3rd at CBC and will end on Friday, September 6th.
PRESEASON: PRESEASON IS NOT TRYOUTS. Think of preseason as a free two week sweeps rowing camp to help you get ready for showing up 100% for tryouts week
We look forward to seeing you all soon.
