General Information:
PRACTICE - 2008 season.
CLOTHING - Proper clothing is a must while at
the boathouse. The body will be exposed to the elements for up to several
hours at a time. Please have your Daughters wear "layers" of clothing.
Several layers are more protective than one bulky jacket. They can take
off outer layers when they begin to overheat and then have clothes to put back
on as they cool down. The girls can also get wet at any given time.
With layers, they will be able to take wet clothes off and still have the dry
ones to wear home. Also, the girls can't row in bulky jackets -
they must be able to move and be flexible.
PHYSICAL AND PARENT PERMISSION FORMS - Girls
must have both. If they are a Freshman or are involved in other sports,
they are OK. Any physicals done after July 1st are good for the entire
year. All other rowers must get a new physical. Permission forms must be
signed by a parent of guardian for all participants. These forms will be
available at the boathouse in February.
TRANSPORTATION - A bus will
be available after each school day to take the girls to Brigantine.
They must be picked up at the boathouse at the end of practice.
Carpooling is a convenient way of handling the rides home. Once the girls
know who's who around the boathouse they can schedule rides with the help of
their parents. That way most of the parents will need to drive to
Brigantine only a couple times per week.
