Ron Lim, a TJ coach for over 19 years, and I are teaming up with the Northern Virginia Rowing Club to offer a new (or new again) fall rowing program for junior girls at Sandy Run. The program will provide an opportunity for experienced high school girls (at least one year of experience required and two is preferred) to row in eights, quads and maybe even an octuple on the Occoquan River. This is not a Learn-to-Row program. Join us for a program dedicated to improving skills, getting in lots of miles, and competing in some of the local head races. The program will run from Wednesday 3 September 2008 to Saturday 1 November 2008. Practices will be held four days a week: Monday, Wednesdays and Thursday from 4:30 to 6:45 pm and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Sandy Run Rowing Facility on the Occoquan River. Please visit Ronin Racing to register - the program is listed as NVRC Fall Girls Program. Early registrants get preference in the event the program fills. -William Randall.

   The Northern Virginia Rowing Club (NVRC) is again the place to go for adults to learn sweep rowing on the Occoquan River in the Summer.  A June learn-to-row introductory session (teaching novices to row by eights with experienced rowers) is followed by a July/August session (where novices and experienced rowers get their own boats) and then a September/October and regattas session (where novices, recreational and competitive rowers all row boats in the fall regattas).  For further information the NVRC web site is currently under construction at ROW4NVRC.COM and you may contact Sandy Spooner at 703-922-8555 or Clint Spooner at scs@nixonvan.com.
