All Novice, JV, and Varsity rowers are required to attend. 

Text Annie or Gregg with any issues. 

Unfortunately, I will not be at the regatta on Sunday where I was going to collect the bottles.Rowers please bring your bottles to practice on Monday and Tuesday. I will take them from you prior to practice. If you would like to drop them at my house. (address is on crew list) I am right down the street from the high school and I am usually home during the day. So far we have 3 bottles and we are looking for a lot more!
Thank you for your continuing support!

The Manny Flick# 2 Schedule is posted on the PSRA website.

Seniors: We hope you had a lovely time in Florida and managed to squeeze in a few circuits in between all the rides. Because there are so many of you (entire line ups) we decided not to enter any Varsity events for Manny Flick #2. There is no point in lining up and racing unprepared. Instead, you can devote your time on race day to supporting your JV and novice teammates. Seniors are required to attend the entire entire regatta and help with rigging and oars. Seniors are not required to practice on Saturday March 23rhd, you will resume practice on Monday at 3:15pm.

Below are the Manny Flick#2 Lineups.

10:42: JVBoys 2x: Joe/Joel
11:24: JVGirls 4x: Lauren/Angela/Olivia/Maddie
11:30: JV Girls 4x: Marianna/Rachel/Brie/Noa
11:36: JV Boys 4x: Tyler/Springer/Noah/Dan

JV and Novice athletes will have the day off on Monday March 25th. Seniors will rig and practice on Monday.

Practice schedule for Easter Week will be posted by Sunday afternoon.

The race schedule has been posted to the PSRA website. Below are the line ups and event times, in addition to some reminders. Rowers please pass this info along to your parents and other adoring fans coming to watch you race. 

•  Plan to be at the trailer two hours before your event time. (Plan extra time due to special events in Philly)
  
• Trailer will be parked in the usual location at Saint Joe's Boathouse.
• Parking information can be found here: http://www.phillyflicks.com/spectators/parking/

• Plan on staying at the regatta until the last boat has returned and all equipment has been loaded on the trailer (approx 4:30pm). 
  
• BRING A LOT OF WARM CLOTHING. Judging from most of your wardrobe choices in the past few days, I want you each to pack the clothes you think you'll need, and then pack an extra layer or two. (Reward to anybody who brings a Snuggie)

Round of applause for our brave Spring Novices! Brie, Oliver, and Chris have been doing an excellent job at practice this week. We can't wait to get them up and race ready by Manny Flick #2! 

Due to high winds and bad water, practice will be moved to the ERG ROOM TODAY (3/14).  Practice will still be at 3:15.

Gregg

Good work on today's 2k test! A few notable barriers were broken and many new PRs were set. Solid performances all around.

Unfortunately we will remain indoors tomorrow due to the impending snow storm. Wednesday's practice will be at the erg room at 3:!5pm. Practice location announcement for Thursday will be made by tomorrow evening.

Friday practice schedule is as follows:

9:00AM-11:30AM: Varsity and JV Rowers
11:15AM - 1:15PM: Novice Rowers

Please bring your tools and running shoes to practice this week.

Three weeks to go until Manny Flick #1!

March has arrived and with it the real fun begins. We will start to transition back to the boathouse as weather permits this week. Please stay tuned into the blog for the most up to date practice schedule.

All rowers must come prepared for cold weather conditions. (aka long spandex, long sleeve tops, splash jackets or wind breakers, hats and socks). You will not be permitted to practice if you're wearing shorts and a tank top in 40 degree weather.
Bring a change of clothes for after practice in case you get wet. All rowers must bring running shoes and a water bottle to practice each day. On rigging days rowers are responsible for bringing their own tools (7/16cm, 10mm, and an adjustable wrench is all you need). No rowers will be permitted to use the coaches' tools this season - no exceptions.
Don't hesitate to contact Coach Gregg or Coach Annie with any questions!
