It was great to see so many student-athletes again at the Swim Test on Sunday. We had great turnout at both Swim Tests and will likely hold one more due to the large amount of interest expressed, more information coming soon.

1. REMINDER: Fall Green Days Start This Week. Click here to learn more about Green Days. Sign-up on the Sign-Up Genius for each day you will be attending a Green Day and annotate if you are a rower or a coxswain. There is no minimum sign-up requirement; you may participate in any days that fit into your schedule.

Returning Rowers/ Coxswains need a VHSL physical dated after May 1, 2018. Turn into WTW Athletic Trainer, Rm. C158- Allow up to 5 business days for processing.

Novice Rowers/ Coxswains need to complete the following:

1. VHSL Physical Form

3. Swim Test - Sept 15; Sign-up on Sign-Up Genius
4. Sign-up to attend Green Days on Sign-Up Genius
5. Sign the USRowing Waiver (we will provide this to you once you sign-up on the Sign-Up Genius site) 

There is no shuttle bus; therefore your own transportation is required to and from all Green Day practices. See the link below for coordinating carpools. All sessions are at Sandy Run Regional Park (10450 Van Thompson Road, Fairfax Station, VA).

NEW: Here is a Sign-Up Genius for Carpooling down to Sandy Run Regional Park. This is a way to get families who are interested in carpooling connected. It does not ensure rides.

2. SAVE THE DATE: Please join us on Thursday, October 11 from 7-9pm for the 2018-2019 Parent’s Season Kick-off Meeting in the WTW High School Cafeteria B. This is for parents of new and returning rowers/coxswains. We have made changes to the registration process and will share a lot of information about the season so please plan to join us.

3. NEW: Launch Driver Training on Saturday, Sept 29th. Sign-up here!

If you're interested in driving a launch during one of our Regattas, this is the training for you. It will qualify you for select VASRA volunteer jobs which are assigned to each participating team and MUST be filled (or our team is fined AND the regatta will fail). Being a Launch Driver gets you the best seat in the house at regattas! All are welcome and anyone can learn.

Coach Tylander will teach a Launch Driver class on Saturday, September 29th from 10:30am to 12:30pm (2 hours). Attendance is limited to the first six people to sign up and is open to any WTW Crew Parent/guardian – anyone can learn. So become a Launch Boat Driver, qualify to meet a VASRA volunteer requirement, and follow the racers down the course!
