Brooke-

Could you give me a call when you have a chance.  Nothing urgent- just have
a question.

Dear Sidwell Crew,

Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a relaxing winter break and that you are
finding success during the exam week.  In just a few weeks, the official
start of the crew season will be upon us.  I am writing to update you on
some administrative and organizational matters that will be important over
the next few weeks.

*Please read this entire message and pay close attention to the points in
bold-face type.*

*Personnel/coaching*

First, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce and welcome Sara
McGanity to the Sidwell Crew team.  Sara will be joining the coaching staff
this season to support me and Ted with daily practices, weekend races and
various organizational matters.  Please join me in extending a warm welcome
to Sara.  You will all have the opportunity to meet her face-to-face over
the coming weeks.

*Pre-season training*

With only a few weeks before we enter the competitive season, it is critical
that we begin focusing on our fitness and training regimens.  I trust that
each one of you has been utilizing the training journals that were
distributed in November.  The coaches are looking forward to seeing the
progress that you have made over the last several weeks.

To help you get in shape for the season, the coaches will offer a pre-season
training program beginning Wednesday, January 20.  The objective of the
pre-season training is to help you attain a proper fitness level before the
season starts and to teach some rowing basics to the novice group.  Remember
that we will be conducting team selection fitness test on the first week of
the spring season (February 26-27).

The first pre-season session will be held next *Wednesday, January 20 from
6:30-7:30am*..  We will meet outside of Ms. Zug’s office.  Regular sessions
will then take place as follows:

Monday and Wednesday mornings, 6:30-7:30am

It is expected that *all rowers who are not on a winter sports team will
commit to these two pre-season training sessions each week*.  We have
intentionally scheduled the training sessions in the mornings so that you
will not have to sacrifice any academic and/or extracurricular activities
after school.

Please note that if you do not attend the pre-season training, you will have
points automatically deducted from your team selection fitness test in
February.  The coaches will be taking attendance at each of the pre-season
sessions.  *Note that winter sports athletes are not expected to commit to
pre-season training for crew* but are welcome to participate if they have
the time.

*Organizational meeting*

The *parent-rower organizational meeting will be held in the US dining room
on February 22 at 6:30pm*.  It is critical that all rowers and at least one
of their parents attend this meeting.  It will offer a prelude to the season
ahead and provide you with all of the administrative, logistical and
organizational information that you will need in the spring..  Please put
this meeting on your calendars now.

*Spring break schedule*

 As a reminder, *varsity rowers are expected to return from spring break by
Wednesday, March 24*.  The team will practice that afternoon at 4:00pm and
will then have double practices (roughly 7am and 4pm) on Thursday and
Friday, March 25-26.  The varsity boats will participate in a tri-meet
against Ireton and O’Connell on Saturday, March 27 on the Anacostia.

*Novice rowers are exempt from the spring break schedule* and will not
practice from Friday, March 19-Monday, March 29.  *Any varsity rower who
will be absent from spring break practices must inform me, in writing, as
soon as possible.*

* *

Finally, if wish to be removed from the crew distribution list, kindly email
Nancy White <[email-masked]> and/or Liz Britton <[email-masked]> with
your request.

Ted, Sara and I look forward to seeing most of you next week.  If you have
any questions or concerns, you can contact me via email.

Best wishes,

Brooke
