NOW, ON TO CREW BUSINESS
1. SRAA DE-RIGGING
Athletes attending SRAA Nationals should plan for their normal practice time on Tuesday, May 28 to de-rig the boats.
2. VP OF ACTIVITIES NEEDED
We are still looking for next year’s VP of Activities! All of the sub-committee jobs have been filled, so this position will primarily be responsible for being the central repository for “activities” information. You will oversee and support the Team Dinner Coordinator, RAFT Coordinator, and Travel Regatta Coordinator. Represents all activities on the Rowing Booster Board and attends Rowing Booster Board Meetings. Contact Catherine Backmeyer if you are interested.
3. BOATHOUSE WORKDAY
Still room for some adults and athletes to help winterize the boathouse so that we can hit the ground running next season! Plan for 9a-12p on Sat, June 1. Remember that many hands make light work, so the more folks that show up the quicker you’ll be done. Athletes can get volunteer credit for helping out. Sign up here: Boathouse Workday.
4. END-OF-SEASON AWARDS BANQUET
RSVP and help out at the End-of-the-Season Banquet on Tue, June 4, 7p at Woodson Cafeteria A. Tentative plans are to have a potluck. Please join us in celebrating all the whole team; athletes, coaches AND parents/guardians! This is more than just an end-of-season celebration. Coaches will present awards, we will recognize our seniors and attending parents will have an introduction/vote for next year’s new board members!
5. SUMMER ERG RENTALS
The team will have a limited number of ergs available for athlete rental over the summer. Ergs will be returned prior to the start of winter conditioning in October 2024. The cost to rent an erg will be $200.00 (pre-paid). Payment will be due June 3, 2024 and pick up will be at the end-of-season celebration on June 4, 2024. Sign up now to reserve an erg and submit payment via PayPal.
6. SCHOOL PHYSICALS FOR NEXT YEAR
Each year, it is required that all student athletes have a completed VHSL physical on file before participating in sports. Set yourself up for next season by signing up for the Athletic Trainer sponsored Sports Physical Night to obtain a valid VHSL physical for the entirety of the 2024-25 school year. The cost for the physical is $50.
The Athletic Training Program receives no funding from FCPS, and this event is their ONLY fundraiser for the year. ALL proceeds go towards helping the program purchase supplies.
Sign up for an appointment for a physical here. Even If you cannot make the Woodson event on June 10, sign up for another school’s event using the same form.
