Old Dominion Boat Club
Old Dominion Boat Club is proud to announce plans and schedules for the 2010 Summer Select program. Registration for the program will be on Saturday, June 5th at the Dee Campbell Rowing Center in Alexandria, VA (1 Madison Street, Alexandria, VA 22314) from 9am to noon. The first day of practice will be Monday, June 7th at 4pm.
The men's and women's teams will each take 16 rowers and 3-4 coxswains, unless there is an overwhelming need to keep a third boat on either side of the program. If cuts are necessary, tryouts will be during the first week of practices.
Until the majority of schools are done for the year, practices will be held at the Dee Campbell Rowing Center at 4pm each afternoon, with the potential for Saturday practices when the team is not racing. Once school is out for the summer, morning practices will also be included in the schedule, with actual days and times to be announced once the teams are set.
The racing schedule is very intense, as the team competes in four regattas over the course of six weeks. -
- 6/20 - Charm City Sprints (Baltimore)
- 7/2-7/4 - Independence Day (Philadelphia)
- 7/10 - Capital Sprints (Anacostia)
- 7/14-7/18 - Club Nationals (Oak Ridge, TN)
The team will race in both 8's and 4's, giving each rower a chance to race multiple times at each regatta. Travel and accomodations for the multi-day regattas will be discussed once teams are set.
Both the men's and women's programs will train in 8's and 4's throughout the course of the season. When the water/weather makes rowing impossible, the Dee Campbell Rowing Center is a state-of-the-art facility, with a fleet of ergs and nearly a ton of weight-lifting equipment. The goal during practices is to prepare each rower and coxswain for racing at a high level, while the overall goal for the entire program is to send each rower and coxswain back to their high school team as superior athletes. The average rower in last summer's program took five seconds off of their 2k PR during the six week season.
The men's head coach is Chris Cabrera from St John's College High School. The women's head coach is Nick Johnson from Bishop O'Connell High School.

Sandy Run Scullers
Sandy Run Scullers (SRS) is a small, private rowing club located on the Occoquan that provides training and recreational sculling opportunities for adult and youth rowers. SRS is also the major sponsor for the Inter-Scholastic Sculling Association, which provides competitive sculling events for high school aged rowers. Sandy Run Scullers Summer Program for Juniors is coached by Lloyd Martin and begins on Monday, June 21st through Wednesday, July 28th. Participants must be high school age (9th - 12th grade). Class size is limited to 16 participants (8 novice slots; 8 experienced slots). The Juniors sculling course is not a competitive sculling program. It is intended for students who want to learn how to scull, or who wish to hone/refine their sculling skills if they already have some experience. The course will be conducted in 12 separate sessions, scheduled two evenings per week for six weeks.
Individual sessions will take place on Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6:00 - 8:30 pm (or sunset, whichever comes first), at the Sandy Run Rowing facility at Boathouse #2 (middle boathouse). SRS will supply all the equipment. Cost per rower is $220.00, payable to Sandy Run Scullers. After successfully completing this course of instruction, you will be proficient in basic sculling techniques and be able to row in quads.
Note: The instructional techniques employed in this course are cumulative, which means that each successive session builds on the previous one. You should be able to commit to these sessions to benefit fully from the program.
To ensure quality instruction and safety afloat, the program is limited to 16 youth rowers. If you are interested and ready to commit, please respond directly to Dana LaFever, SRS Membership Director, to register and guarantee a spot. E-mail address is dlafever AT hers DOT com. My telephone number is: (703) 609-3479. First come, first served is the rule. There will be a wait-list, if needed. -

Thompson Boat Center
Thompson Boat Center in Georgetown offers summer and fall competitive programs. -
Summer Juniors Mens Program at Thomson Boat Center
-
Schedule: The summer program begins at 4:30 PM on Monday, June 7. Morning practices, as described below, will begin after the end of the school year.
Morning Practices 3x per week from 5:45 - 7:30 after school ends for the summer. Exact days will be somewhat flexible based on rowers schedules. Not everyone will come to the same morning practices - some will be for specific groups or boats. Afternoon Practices will run from 4:30 - 6:30 PM every afternoon. After school ends, based on rower schedules, the start time will probably be moved to 4:00 PM. Saturday practices will run from 7 - 10 AM. - Mission: The goal of the 2010 summer junior program is to prepare its participants to succeed in the next level of the sport, whatever that might be for them. For athletes preparing for college, we work to give them a sense for collegiate-level coaching, workload and expectations. For younger athletes, we work to send them back to their home programs with a set of boat-moving skills that will allow them to compete at a higher level, both internally in their own programs, and against other high school teams in the spring.
- Program Structure: The summer junior program makes extensive use of small boats in its training program. Rowers who are proficient enough to handle pairs will use them regularly, and all athletes will row fours extensively. Currently, the summer program does not make significant use of sculling boats. After school lets out for the summer, the program will run through two cycles of high-intensity workouts followed by several days of recovery time in preparation for USRowing Nationals. Significant attention is paid to teaching recovery methods, including stretching, healthy diet, post practice icing, and post-practice recovery nutrition.
- Selection, Travel and Racing: There is no cut for the summer program. Everyone who comes out is welcome, though rowers who at at a technical or fitness level significantly under that of the team at large may be transferred into the Junior developmental program. Athletes who train with the Thompson Boat Center may race with the travel team of TBC Racing. Selection is based almost entirely on seatracing and time trialing - the team may erg if weather does not permit rowing on some days, but the individuals who make boats will be those who have proved their ability to move those boats on the water. Athletes who do not turn 17 in this calendar year may also be considered for the Junior-16 boats, though anyone who can make the varsity boat for the program will be given an opportunity to compete for a seat in that boat. The racing team will take as many boats to USRowing Nationals as are considered to be competitive. The most probable plan is to take two Junior-18 eights and one Junior-16 8, though if there is a third J-18 or second J-16 boat which is up to the competitive standard, they will be allowed to travel as well. For the Canadian Henley regatta, the standards are again raised; the program will travel with one J-18 8 and one J-16 8, as well as any second boats that made the USRowing Nationals final in their events. Dates for USRowing nationals are: July 13-18 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee Dates for the Royal Canadian Henley are: August 2-8 in St. Catharines, Ontario
