Dear All - RowOntario will host a weekend of adaptive
rowing and coaching late this summer. The goal is to get the adaptive rowing community together for a weekend to recruit new rowers and coaches and educate through sharing coaching and rowing ideas. The weekend is scheduled for September 12 and 13 in Sudbury. The RowOntario Adaptive Rowing Committee is organizing the weekend and would like your input on what you would like to get out of such a weekend.
We have funding to bring in experts for workshop modules. Suggestions for modules so far include athlete training and care, rigging and strapping, erg technique and training options, and on-water coaching ideas and strategies. The Sudbury Rowing Club has an accessible boathouse and boats will be available for LTA, TA and AS rowing.
Please reply with any ideas for the weekend that you may have. Most importantly, send a list of topics the you would like to see covered and possibly any experts in the field that you would recommend.
RowOntario and the Coaches Association of Ontario have committed substantial funds to make this weekend possible. Now we need your help to make it a success - to insure that this funding is well spent and will be available in the future. Please plan on attending the weekend and give us suggestions on how the weekend can meet your needs and the needs of other coaches and athletes interested in adaptive rowing.
