Youth Crew Team
The youth program for Junior and Senior High School
students will begin at 3:30p and end at 5:30p. Training will begin
and end at the YMCA Monday through Friday. Youth Rowers Must Sign
in at the Y Front Desk. The minimum age requirement for youth participants
is 6th GRADE.
Our goal is to train on the water as much as possible. Cross training
at the YMCA will be the responsibility of the individual rower.
Weather conditions will dictate the availability of water training
time. There will be coaching staff for the crew team at the YMCA
and on the water. The Fall rowing season will begin September 6th
for the LEARN TO ROW group and September
8th for RETURNING ROWERS and end November
7th, 2008.
Adult Crew Team
The adult LEARN TO ROW
and RETURNING ROWERS program will be
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 5:30p to 7:15p. The
adult practice meeting place will be at the YMCA for the first few
practices for the LEARN TO ROW group
and then at Evergreen Cove Holistic Learning Center, 770 Port Street,
Easton, Maryland.
Our goal is to train on the water four days a week (we ask you to
make a commitment to a minimum of 2 practices per week). If weather
conditions do not allow for rowing, the practice will be held at
the YMCA on the rowing machines. The Fall rowing season will begin
September 6th for the LEARN TO ROW
group and September 8th for RETURNING ROWERS
and end November 7th, 2008. There will be mentorship opportunities
to share your rowing and other life experiences with the youth rowers.
General Information
If you are interested in rowing crew, please fill
out the application included and mail it to Freedom Rowers, PO Box
3086, Easton, Maryland 21601. Adult rowers may apply on-line at
www.freedomrowers.org. Because we need a parent signature, youth
members will need to send a hard copy of the application. If there
are more applications then positions available, we will notify you
as soon as possible.
We request that families of youth and adult rowers make a donation
to the team. A donation of $250.00 for youth rowers and $450.00
for adult rowers would help to cover the costs of the program. You
can make a check out to Freedom Rowers and bring it to the first
day of practice or log onto the web site to use a credit card. If
the donation is a financial burden to your family, please contact
us and we can make arrangements as needed.
