Practices: |
Your team will select one night each week
to practice. Practices will be coached. Teams are paired by experience
for practice with two boats per coach. There will be a progressive curriculum
that will account for the goals and overall experience level of participants. |

Frequency: |
One night each week. |

Attire: |
There is no need for special attire for
rowing. It is recommended that shorts or sweats be relatively snug fitting
as loose material easily catches in the rowing seat wheels. Bicycle
shorts or tights are ideal. Any running shoes or sneakers will be fine. |

Location: |
Unless otherwise announced, practices will be at the Lambert
Boathouse on Washington's Landing. |

There will be a rower's barbecue after every practice. Food and beverages (soda and beer - courtesy of Penn Brewing) are included in the program fee. Traditionally one team accepts responsibility for cooking and cleaning up on a rotating basis. |
