great success. We had a nice turn out, and all the campers had fun
and want to continue rowing. We had one adult coach and three helper
coaches. Two of the helper coaches were were high school grads, going
into college, one just completed his freshman year at college. All
three helper coaches have attended the USRowing SE Youth Development
Camp, and either are rowing in college or plan to, so they have some
qualifications as rowers, even though they were not certified as
coaches.
I'm wondering if other clubs use young people to help teach their
camps? Do you use Juniors or College rowers for coaches? Any tips or
suggestions that have worked for your camps that you can pass along?
Lessons learned?
Thanks,
