The FSRA Annual Coaches Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 6, 2005, from noon to approximately 4 pm. It will be held at the Boone High School cafeteria. Boone High School is located at 2000 S. Mills Avenue, Orlando, FL. Directions will be sent during the first week of August.
No By-Law changes have been submitted so far from the general membership. The deadline for submitting changes to the FSRA Corresponding Secretary is July 22, 2005. The board is still reviewing possible changes to Article II - Membership, Section 1. Association Membership.
Concerning limiting doubling at Youth Champs, the general consensus of the board is those who compete in a designated championship event will be allowed to race in one additional event only. The question most likely to be presented to membership for vote is to choose from one of the following options:
1) restricted to any 2 championship events only - this allows sweep rowers and scullers to do 2 events in their chosen discipline or one each.
2) restricted to 1 sweep and 1 sculling event - this encourages growth of sculling events and allows scullers the possibility to race in non-champ events to reduce the number of total races on one day.
3) restricted to 1 champ sweep and 1 sculling event - variation of option 2 above - please note all sculling events are championship events (singles, doubles and quads)
4) no doubling at all - eliminates scheduling conflicts.
Please note that the Scholastic Championships have been following option 2 as the only exception allowed to a no doubling rule.
Last, concerning ethics and use of prohibited foreign substances will be an advisory item only at this point. Two teams were suspected of violating USRowing rule 3-107 at state championships this past spring. Unfortunately, the USRowing Officials at these regattas were not equipped or prepared to enforce this rule, so the matter was taken under advisement with the goal to enforce this rule at future state championships.
Concerning the attached Spring 2006 schedule, only 2 regatta dates have changed so far (Metro Cup - Winter Park / Edgewater Dual moved to March 4; Gainesville Crew Classic moved to April 8). Hood Cup sent an email looking to change.
Enjoy your last month of freedom before school starts up again!
Thanks,
Brice A. Crossley
