What I sent previously was that we are working on securing a location in Orlando for Saturday, August 18. Unfortunately, we were unable to confirm that date with several locations we are in talks with (lots of weddings, etc.). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but also realize that the results of my earlier question as to when best to hold the meeting showed that every Saturday was inconvenient for at least 2 programs. FYI: Previous school room use is now unavailable due to large liability issues.

Youth Rowing – for junior coaches and administrators

This listserv was started to provide a network for junior coaches and administrators. It is supported and sponsored by USRowing’s Youth Advisory Committee. USRowing hopes that the listserv will assist in the day-to-day running of your program. Please use this outlet to look for racing opportunities, boat rentals and equipment sales, cross-country trailering trips, coaching questions, etc. USRowing will use this service as a means to spread the word about nationwide youth rowing opportunities.

Regatta Roundtable – for regatta directors and organizers

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/regattaroundtable

Administered by Kourt de Haas and regatta roundtable leader Robert Walton, this listserv is a wonderful way for regatta organizers to bounce ideas off of like minds. It provides an electronic forum for the exchange of ideas relating to the organization and administration of rowing regattas. The scope of topics includes sprint races, head races, scratch regattas, timing methods, results compilation methods, course installation, insurance, and other regatta related topics.

Brice et. al.-

http://www.firstgiving.com/CRCGavinFrase

I know some of you know Gavin very well, and some of you have never heard of him. He used to coach with me @ Bishop Moore, and then we both went over to OARS. He's put most of his life on hold to row and he's made the Lt. 8+ that will race in Munich in a couple of weeks. As we are all aware, USRowing doesn't fund non-Olympic events too well and Gavin is going to have to spend around $4000 to represent our nation. He thought about selling a kidney on the black market, but after some careful thought decided against it for obvious recovery reasons. Other than that, without a meaningful job (not too many employers cater to the random periods of absenteeism that goes along with training and competing at that level) Gavin is asking his friends for a few dollars. Thankfully, his brother is technologically advanced and set him up with a website that is easy and secure for donations...not to mention tax deductable for all of you big spenders.
In all seriousness, Gav could use any amount of help from you or your team. All you have to do is click on the link (I copied it twice for emphasis...something I picked up in marketing class).

Thanks for your support,

keith_young_...

FSRA Coaches and Contacts:

The Orlando Area Rowing Society, located on beautiful Lake Down in
Orlando, is seeking applications for assistant coaching positions
within the Junior Competitive Team for the upcoming 2007-2008 season.
Looking to expand its coaching staff to one of the largest in the
south for juniors, OARS is also adding to its inventory of equipment,
boats and infrastructure for its 100+ athletes. Entering its
eighteenth year of competition, we offer qualified coaching
candidates an opportunity to be part of advancing the program from a
well respected local club to a junior rowing team of national
prominence that is focused on participation with excellence.

Ideal candidates will have a college degree, college rowing
experience, and previous coaching experience. However, we will also
consider an applicant for an entry level coach. The position could be
a great leadership opportunity for a recent college grad to teach
younger rowers the finer rowing skills they have developed in a
college crew program. O.A.R.S. is committed to providing a variety of
opportunities for its coaches, including coach training,
conferences, "ride alongs", certifications, and implementation of
sound scientific training principles.  The club is also committed to
providing very competitive salaries.

It is important to the club to find coaches that possess:

- a professional dedication for athletic development/expertise in
coaching
- an excellent personal character and commitment to program
organization
- organizational and motivational skills
- abilities in interpersonal communication and community relations
- demonstrated ability to work with students, staff, administration
and parents
- the belief in setting high expectations for themselves and their
student athletes
- a positive "Can Do" attitude and good sense of humor and enthusiasm
- an ability to model life-long learning skills.

For more information about O.A.R.S., visit our website
http://www.oars-online.com. Applicants should send letters of
interest and resumes including previous rowing and/or coaching
experience to Lisa Kelley - lak6@.... Feel free to forward
a this post to any other interested parties.

Coach Bancheri Kicks Off Fall Season with Free Teleclass for Rowing Coaches

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 @ 8:00pm(EST) - Head Coach John Bancheri of Grand Valley State University will share his secrets to coaching technique in a free teleclass for rowing coaches. Regardless of your squad's age and experience level, you won't want to miss Coach Bancheri's insight into how the stroke is broken down into basics and spread out over the seasonal plan. You will take away tips for planning and organizing your approach to teaching and reinforcing fundamental technique, and also learn a variety of physical cues and phrases to clarify the "perfect" stroke to your athletes.

Best of luck on the water this season,

- C O A C H 2 | The Coach's Coach

A new, free service provided by coaches, for coaches. There is no charge to participate, and no catch. We simply saw a need and interest in our region for coaches to communicate more with each other, to coach and teach other coaches, especially those newer to the sport.

To share ideas and knowledge that make us all better coaches, the Tuesday Teleclass is an interview and/or Q & A session with experienced coaches for new perspectives on old and new topics. If you are interested in ongoing coaching education, either in developing your own or in mentoring others through your experience...we look forward to having you join in on one of the Teleclass calls.

Learn.Laugh.Share. Reallivemoms is right place!

Due to the team's low member count (6) we will be selling 1/2 our fleet. We will be selling a HW Jennings 8+ fit for rowers 160+ lbs. One HW 4+ (bow coxed), also for rowers 160+ lbs; and one LW 4+ (bow coxed) fit for rower averaging below 160 lbs.

All the boats are 2003 models. They were purchased by a previous coach that expected the team to increase in size. Unfortunatly the team never did and the boats were only used for one semester. We are currently asking for $8,000 for the 8+, and $3,500 for each 4+.

Thanks,

See what you�re getting into�before you go there

As most of you know this will be the first year offering a youth pair event at states. Maclay is very excited about this opportunity and would like to thank the support of the Florida teams.

I would like to take this opportunity and ask for any teams that might rise to the challange to contact me so we might be able to race eachother prior to states in some head races and/or some sprints. Several Florida regattas have offered to add a pair event to their race and it would definatly help the event me competative if we began racing eachother early. Currently First Coast and Gator Head have offered to add a pair event. If you are interested in racing your pair agains ours you will find us in both. We will also be racing at the hooch in the open pair.

Thanks to all,

Yuval Peress
