Schoolboy starts Friday and marks the end of the season. Information about the event can be found on their official website: www.cssra.ca . The preliminary draw is already posted to the site underneath the banner. If you do not race Friday, you will have the opportunity to come down to the island to cheer on your school... with your parent's permission. Photo IDs are 100% checked at both weigh-ins and at the dock before racing. It will be very busy, so leave yourself lots of time to get down to the club.
I have forgot to mention on here that there is a St. Catharines Rowing Club meeting tonight (Tuesday.) at 5:00pm for those who are interested in rowing for the club this summer. I would recommend it to all who would like to get competitive in the sport. It is a great opportunity to get lots of on-water training, lots of racing, and get to know and row with athletes from other schools. If you miss the meeting, the club will have an information booth set up on the compound during the races this weekend.
For those who can not commit to rowing 6 days a week but would like a chance to get a bit of rowing in during the summer, Brock University offers a Youth Sculling School.
"The Youth Sculling School is a 5 day rowing camp intended for student between the ages of 13 to 19 with an interest in rowing. Athletes get an opportunity rowing in a large variety of boats and improve on their sculling skills before the high school rowing season begins."
More information can be found here: Brock Rowing Camps. There will also be an information booth on the compound during this weekend's races.
