February 2021: Chipotle Fundraiser, Registration, Coaches’ Notes, Regatta Schedule

THE SEASON
There is not much new information to add about our 2021 season from the update in December. The Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association (VASRA) Board February meeting was cancelled because of no new change in the status of Sandy Run or return to rowing activities. Its next meeting is in March, and we’ll update you soon thereafter.

Below is the draft/subject to change schedule for 2021, including our Board meetings. NOTE: It is most likely that rowers will not be rowing at every regatta as in years past due to COVID-19 protocols and a limit to the number of persons allowed at Sandy Run at any one time.

STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR CREW
You still have time to register for crew this year. Go to justicerowing.com/forms and send in your completed forms today. Please also remember to complete your 2021 membership to US Rowing at USRowing.org. The cost is $9.00; use code W2GS4.

COACHES’ NOTES AND PRACTICES
The team continues to condition virtually. Stay tuned for potential ERG training in person once we get approval from FCPS. IF we can return safely to ERGs outside and socially distanced, we’ll need lots of help for Coach and his team to disinfect, move/service the equipment. We’ll update you on this development soon.

Please turn in your physical to Mr. Berg and complete your concussion education as soon as possible.
Reminder that practices take place on Google Meet via our Google Classroom. We meet Mon-Fri at 3:30pm for body-weight training and tips from the coaches. The workout calendars are also posted in Google Classroom for all rowers to see and use. Stay fit!
Spring sports are in a red calendar period currently; no organized practice for the next two weeks. Our next virtual practice will resume on February 22nd and continue regularly from that date.
