WHAT IS VASRA?
The Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association (VASRA) is comprised of representatives from 39 area high school crew programs and has the express purpose of fostering spring high school regattas at Sandy Run, including the Virginia State Championships. VASRA provides an important forum for high school rowing programs to work together to coordinate interscholastic rowing competitions.
As a VASRA member school, Oakton Crew contributes volunteer efforts every season, and in return we gain from all the hard work of the organization as a whole, such as set-up and maintenance of safe regatta courses, organization of referees and fully-staffed races, official timed results for every regatta with awards for top teams, and orchestration of an army of volunteers for the many tasks that comprise race day on the river.
ALL ATHLETES ARE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THE VASRA RULES OF ROWING
