Hello FSRA administration-



   We launched our crew program in the spring and had a very successful
inaugural season by all accounts, but we are in need of a new head
coach. The head coach from the spring does not have the time and will
become a part-time assistant.



   Anything that could be done to help us identify potential coaches
would be greatly appreciated. We have an all-girls school and are
anticipating have both fall and spring seasons, so we are in a crunch to
locate a coach for the fall. And if there is a classified site on which
I should place an ad, please let me know.

Academy of the Holy Names (Tampa) in need of rowing coach

 

We launched our crew program in the spring and had a very successful inaugural season by all accounts, but we are in need of a new head coach. The head coach from the spring does not have the time and will become a part-time assistant.

 

Anything that could be done to help us identify potential coaches would be greatly appreciated. We have an all-girls school and are anticipating have both fall and spring seasons, so we are in a crunch to locate a coach for the fall. And if there is a classified site on which I should place an ad, please let me know.

This is all I have so far for 2007 Spring Calendar:
 
Saturday, March 24, 2007 - Orlando Area Rowing Society Invitational at Turkey Lake Park
Saturday, March 31, 2007 - Gainesville Crew Classic in Gainesville
 
Regarding 2007 Florida State Champs (4 items to consider plus some options):
1) keep the same events as 2006 with the same qualifying requirements
 
2) keep distance at 1500m
 
3) move to a 2-day (Sat & Sun) format - The one day format required a very tight schedule with no extra time. It also provides no weather contingency. With a 2 day format, we can consider options:
 
3a) modify progression system: 1) add reps for all youth champs events - gives crews experience for national events; and/or 2) add semis for all events over X number of entries. We can stop relying on refs to provide time to calculate the progression.  
 
3b) add petites to all events over 9 entries - this would keep most boats involved for both days (keep kids busy and reduce complaints about hanging around for a 2nd day). Or remove petites altogether to shorten the race days?
 
3c) race day time restrictions: example no race before 8am or after 6pm (Sunday 3pm) No one likes to get ready in the dark and most would like to know what time they can expect to get home.
 
3d) remove doubling restrictions - with the above options, most boats would have 3 to 4 races over the weekend. If a coach wants to double that number of races for some rowers and thereby reducing their overall performance, that should be the coach's decision.
 
Summary: The new format would be Saturday: heats and maybe reps and/or semis; Sunday: maybe semis and petites/finals. There are several options depending if members approve petites, reps and / or semis. And this also allows weather options such as dropping petites if we need to reduce the number of events.
 
4) change point schedule for Youth All Points - Both the Scholastic and Youth team trophies have almost identical point structures and therefore who wins one most likely will win both. For several years there has been discussions about having a trophy more based on efficiency. The proposal is to base youth points on the number of event entries you beat. Example: an event with 16 boats: 1st place gets 15 points down to zero points for last. Recognizing this is a Youth Champs trophy and concerns for more points for 'varsity' boats, the proposal also calls for doubling points in Youth Champ events - Varsity 4 & 8, Light 4 & 8, all sculling events.
 
Here is the full blown summary of the above:
 

2 day regatta

  • 1st day: heats and reps
  • 2nd day: semi and finals

2 classes

  • 14 Champ events: V 4, V8, Lt 4, Lt 8, 4x, 2x, 1x
  • 12 Non-Champ: JV 4, JV 8, 3rd 4, 3rd 8, Fr 4, Fr 8

2 progressions

  • Champ events: heats, reps, semi (if 13+ entries), finals
  • Non-Champ: heats, semi (if 16+ entries), finals

End using time to calculate progression

 

Continue Petites for events with 9+ entries?

 

Allow doubling?

 

Change Youth points table

  • Champ events: 2 points per boat beat
  • Non-Champ: 1 point per boat beat

 

Using 2006 data w/o doubling:

 

Saturday

48 heats (start 7:30am) (21 boats don’t race Saturday – Sunday finals only)

13 reps (finish 6pm)

 

Sunday

8 semis (start 7:30am)

42 finals (finish 3pm) 33 of 262 boats no race 2nd day

or no petites (finish 1pm) 97 of 262 boats no race 2nd day

FSRA, Peter, et al.
 
While I take a recess from reading your manifesto Peter (can only read so much in one sitting...), I would be remiss to not make a point of clarification regarding the Florida Sprints League.  The FSL has ZERO to do with FSRA, it's rules, and the State Championship race.  To restate "our" purpose, it is simply a group of teams who CHOOSE to adopt a method of racing that best benefits the direction of our teams.  ANY team who wishes to race may do so.  My team, and I believe many others, found the format refreshing and look forward to another go round this season.  And may I add, this past season (as a "member" of the FSL) Space Coast Crew also participated in the OARS Regatta, Hood Cup, etc. ONE STYLE OF RACING DOES NOT REPLACE THE OTHER.
 
With regard to the upcoming meeting, I would hope that we can all work toward the betterment of the Florida State Championship race, something I think that we made great strides towards doing last year, and can continue to refine how we run that race. Other than that, I think it unwise for us to try to dictate or predetermine the direction of Florida rowing as a whole.  It will, if nothing else, prove to be an exercise in futility I'm afraid.
 
Look forward to seeing everyone in August. All the best,
Patrick
Space Coast Crew
 
P.S.--> For the record, my club (SCC) has NO interest or intent in "breaking down" into scholastic boats.  Our athletes are proud members of SCC, practice as SCC, and will race as SCC.  Please don't include us in any discussion to the contrary.

We need nominees to run for board positions. At least 2 board members will not be returning: president and treasurer. A great opportunity to possibly work long hours for no pay. However, you will generally receive several very nice acknowledgments of appreciation during the season.

Several have asked who can run. In the past, almost all officers have been former or current FSRA coaches. However the bylaws do not have any restrictions as to who can serve, so if you want to serve and the members vote you in, you get the job. And 90% of that job is to put together the state championship(s). The other 90% is dealing with issues that arise from the annual meeting and regattas during the season.
 
Thanks, Brice
