Subject: [youthrowing] Junior World's Age Requirements

It has been quite a few years since I was trying out for the Junior
National Team, so I can't quite remember the rules regarding the
ages of the participants. I know that 18 year old kids can
participate because most high school seniors will turn 18 before the
race happens in late summer after their senior year, but I am not
sure when the limits are on when they turn 18. Is the age
requirement:

a. Not turning 18 before the Jan 1st of the year of the race in
question;

b. Not turning 18 before the previous year's race;

c. or something else entirely?

Thanks for your help. I have three rowers currently in the running
on erg scores but are confused about their eligibility for next year.

Thanks

Nat Schindler

Waterdog,

I am going to refer you to the Coaches Association of the DC area.  I am
sure you can acquire lots of advice from these individuals.

Subject: [youthrowing] height, weight, age requirements

I coach at a small private school and I am lucky to get enough kids to
have a full boat but was wondering what other schools do in regard to
height, weight, age requirements to be on the team.

We used to use inflatables, and I found they had too major drawbacks:

1). they leave quite a large wake, a problem on the Charles river.
Once you got one up and planing, it zips along with little wake, but
at that point you are going too fast to coach. which leaddds me to...

2). the size we had, which was fairly small, with 8 hp or 9.9 engines,
went slow, then at a really steep angle, then would finally build up
enough headway to plane at which point it would go too fast...so I
found it difficult to maintain the "right" speed the go along with my
crew. A larger hull with a bigger engine would be fine,

The USRowing safety video has a good demonstartion of this. Then you can
take a small boat out when the water temp is warmer and practice. Just be
careful, a boat can go through a little more trama then one would think
flipping.

I would question whether all 3 are really excellent "rowers" if they don't want
to row
hard. That's inconsistent with my definition of excellent rowers. Tell them to
try out for
thr chess team.

Hi Everyone,

Here is a situation that I do not know how to deal with.....I hope
you guys can offer some direction....

I have a group of 20 Juniors here in the Midwest.  The river was
running too fast and we could not go out in boats. So we used the
Ergs.  5 x 500 meters to get the blood pumping. 20 Juniors in a
line. All the Guys were sweating and getting into it....most of the
girls were with the exception of 3.  Who were not showing any signs
of sweat, effort, stress....

I asked them what the problem was, and they had no answer...they
just backed off the pressure as they started to feel uncomfortable,
hot or out of breath.  They all knew they were 'busted'....but did
nothing to change it.

All three have rowed/ raced and are excellent rowers. I did not
persue the issue any further and decided to keep an eye on the
situation.....anyone have any ideas? ...solutions.. suggestions?

This is not an isolated incident, these three rowers rarely sweat
running,  out in a boat or in a race.

thanks
Charles

Years ago we used an inflatable - I think it was a 14 or 16 footer with
either a 9.9 or 15 horse on it - either would be sufficient.
It was fine for coaching - very stable and scooted along the river nicely.
You have to be careful when you try to transfer a kid into a boat or come
close to your crews because they tend to float a bit more. Also, unless
they have seats in them you have to sit on the inflated deck which can be
a bit awkward, but otherwise no problem. Better than running along the
shore.

Has anyone had experience with coaching from an inflatable boat?  If
so, what were it's limitations?  What size boat did you use, and what
horsepower engine did you have?  How was the speed?

Welcome to the Youth Listserve-

Please note that you may set the frequency of the communication you
receive. If you prefer to have no emails sent, a daily digest or
every email please adjust your account.

The Youth Advisory Committee has been very busy. Below is an update
on our work this year. To see who serves on the YAC please visit the
USRowing website.

USRowing Youth Advisory Committee Update:

•The rules for petitioning at the National Youth Invite are
constantly being examined for fairness and several have changed this
year.
  -USRowing and the YAC will be accepting petitions from crews
submitted by May 25, 2005. The panel will respond to each petition by
May 27, 2005.
  -A crew placing second or third at a registered qualifying regatta
to attend the Youth Invitational. Petitions will only be accepted and
reviewed if they are within the following seconds of the winner.
(8+/4+/4x within 4 seconds, 2x/1x within 6 seconds)
  -The composition of the petition panel will be as follows: the three
at-large members and the regional representative. In the event of a
tie the final input will but come from the YAC Chairman.
  -In order to further reduce the number of petitions each year,
starting in 2005 invitations will roll down.  In the event one of the
two qualifying crews chooses not attend the Youth Invitational, the
entry opportunity will roll down to the third place boat.

•This is the second year for the trial Lightweight 4's events
at the
Youth Invite. It is popular and it seems likely that the YAC will
vote to make it a permanent event in June.

•The YAC is recommending to the NGB that the rules of rowing be
adjusted to allow YNI winners to be awarded national titles. We feel
the Nationals in June aren't a true reflection of "youth
national
champions"

•Over the winter the YAC developed a list of criterion for
hosting
the Youth National Invite after discussions of moving the race west
or to Oak Ridge. The committee has no plans to move the race at this
time but we wanted to develop the criteria in case it ever needed to
move.

•We are examining the mission and focus of the three youth/junior
rowing committee's in light of governance changes on the USRowing
board.

Charles,

Have you tried your local high school welding class?  I've used ours to maintain
our trailer and they've done a wonderful job.  Our original trailer was donated
by a local metal fabrication company, so there's another thought.  They made it
from a dual axle flat bed and welded the uprights as supports.

Good Luck.

Hi,
We are a small Junior program in the midwest. We are looking for a
trailer manufacturer who offers or makes rowing boat trailers. The
trailers we have found on the 'Vespoli' website are too expensive and
too large for our program. We don't own enough boats to fill one up!
We have tried local trailer builders but they all come in around $7000+
Any used or unwanted trailers, ideas or contacts would be welcome.
Thanks
Charles

Thank you for any information you might have that could possibly lead to such
a rental.
