Yellow Days and Summer Plans

W.T. Woodson Crew Yellow Days begin Aug. 3 at the Woodson Football stadium. Sessions will be held Monday and Wednesday 8/3, 8/5, 8/10, 8/12 starting at 8:30 am.

Safety guidelines:

Athletes will work out in pods of no more than nine at a time, moving through five stations for ten minutes each.
Participants must provide up-to-date Emergency Care Form on their first Yellow Day.
Facemasks must be worn to the stadium for check-in.
Athletes must have no apparent symptoms and register a temperature of less than 100.4 F.
Bring 32 ounces of water (no sharing allowed and no water is provided)
Please sign up here for a pod timeslot.

This timing and capacity is designed to keep students safe as Virginia is seeing a resurgence of COVID-19. After this test run of work-outs, we will determine what is possible for the remainder of the summer and fall.

In addition, if you are interested in learning more or getting some recommendations for summer rowing opportunities, have your student athlete reach out to his/her coach on the team Slack.

Senior Night

If you had a chance to check out the virtual senior night put on by the W.T. Woodson Athletic Boosters in coordination with the teams and coaching staff last week, you know that it was a very special evening. In addition to the official event that night, coaches and team leadership put together a social-distancing-approved car caravan of teammates to give our seniors a sense of our appreciation for their leadership over the years.

Check out pictures from the parade on our photos page and see more pics and video in this Twitter thread.

Physicals

Since the Woodson High School Athletic Department isn’t sponsoring physicals for athletes at the school this year, we’re encouraging families to book appointments as soon as it’s safe with your family doctor to have a sports physical completed. Physicians must use the VHSL Physical Examination Form. Once school reopens, we’ll determine how to get the completed forms to the Woodson Athletic Trainer’s office. As in previous years, the physical must be completed after May 1 and is good for the full following school year.
