Two GAR Rowers Honored by USRowing!

scullerscoach — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:30:21 +0000

USRowing (the governing body for rowing in the United States) has an academic honor roll every year that high school students are encouraged to apply for if they meet the requirements.

We have many wonderful students-athletes on GAR and two of them applied and were recognized by USRowing! They were in a group of 62 athletes from around the country to apply and have the great grades to make the list for Honorable Mention Scholastic Honor Roll.

Congrats are in order for Lizzie Watson (Varsity Women) and Arnav Gupta (Varsity Men)!!! Both of these students are seniors at Eastside High School.

What’s better than a good athlete? A great student-athlete!!!!!!

GREAT JOB LIZZIE AND ARNAV~WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

New Rower Checklist!

scullerscoach — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 20:36:10 +0000

When you become involved in a new organization it’s hard to know what you should do first. Below is a checklist of things that every parent of a new rower should do:

Join the GAR list serve so that you know all of the important news. Go to the contacts tab and follow the instructions under GAR Youth and Parents Mailing List.

Complete all of the waivers listed. Some of them are online and some will be hard copies. This is a large set of waivers but should cover us for most of the races this year. Go to the members tab, then youth, then forms. Have your rower bring all hard copies to the boathouse and give them to their coach.

Complete the online GAR registration. This sets you up in our accounting system and provides emergency contacts for our emergency database. Coaches can access this database with their smart phones at practice. Go to the members tab, then youth, then registration.

Use the GAR google calendar! You will see every event coming up from races to fundraisers. Go to the calendars tab, then select youth.

Read the GAR handbook. Go to members, then youth, then guides and rules.

If you have any questions at all about GAR, please contact the coach of your child. They will either assist you or if they cannot, they will make sure that your question goes to the appropriate GAR member who can help you.

Welcome to our team!

Daily Practice Plan Fall 2011

scullerscoach — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:18:03 +0000

Below is the link to our Fall 2011 practice plan. This plan takes into account that we will be sharing UF’s dock since the GAR dock has no water around it. The coaching staff devised this plan to make sure that each squad was able to balance rowing with other forms of cross-training. This plan includes a stadium workout for each squad once per week at UF stadium. The orange decal lifts at 3:30 and that is what time we will begin our practice there. Let’s make sure that all of girls carpool to the stadium on Tuesday and the guys carpool to the stadium on Thursday. Here is the schedule: Fall_Facility_Schedule_2011
