<strong>ROWING</strong> POLICY & SELECTION<br />
Rowing has long been a successful sport at <strong>TSS</strong> and it is the intention of all currently involved at the<br />
shed to maintain this tradition and to build upon it with new ideas and innovations. Of course, we<br />
should not forget the basic and fundamental requirements of any rowing program, hence the policy<br />
statement below which, I hope will give parents an idea of how the shed operates.<br />
AIM: <strong>The</strong> aim of this policy is to ensure that rowers and coxswains are selected into appropriate<br />
crews of similar ability within each year group.<br />
1.1 General<br />
Rowers and coxswains will be selected in crews via a combination of sculling, ergometers, attitude,<br />
aptitude , seat racing in big boats and crew coach’s and Director of Rowing input. Final decisions are<br />
ultimately up to the discretion of the Director of Rowing.<br />
This Selection Policy criteria may be amended by the Director of Rowing and any amendments will<br />
be provided to all rowers, coxswains, coaches and parents in advance.<br />
