Team Schedule
Shaker Crew offers competitive and recreational rowing for novice and experienced student-athletes at Shaker Junior and Senior High Schools. The goal of the program is to teach technical knowledge, challenge athletes to excel and instill lifetime values regarding the importance of teamwork.

There are two competitive seasons held in the fall and spring, with competition at the regional, state and national levels.  The club also conducts winter conditioning training between seasons and offers a variety of summer rowing programs including an introductory learn to row program. Learn more about how rowing can benefit college bound students.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frosh Girls Win At STATES!
The frosh girls broke Saratoga's 12 year winning streak in this event. A great accomplishment for the girls. The varsity girls cranked out a 2nd place finish in the time trial, but had a tough go in the semi-final. The varsity boys rowed a very hard time trial to finish 5th, but had a tough time with the very rough conditions in the semi-final. The jv boys took advantage of an opportunity and held off a hard charging Fayettevill-Maniluis to earn a spot in the final. Kudos to this spunky group.

Both the frosh girls and varsity boys earned bids to the Scholatic Nationals in Camden, NJ on May 25 and 26th. This is a very comeptitive event with crews from Florida, Virginia, Philidelphia, Pittsburgh and of course New York.

APPROPRIATE DRESS
We need to have rowers dressed appropriately. We have rowers showing up in thin T-shirts, no dry clothes, no running shoes and no socks. This is an outdoor sport that involves wind and rain, rowers can expect to get wet everyday. Rowers should have a T-shirt, long sleeve shirt, running shoes, close fitting shorts and a wind breaker on a daily basis.

STOTESBURY CUP
The Stotesbury Cup is held in Philadelphia on May 18 and 19th. We have a block of rooms reserved on the Camden side of the river. A bit of an inconvenience, but there is a lot going on in Phillie this weekend. We will be racing a junior boys 8, junior boys quad, junior girls 8, frosh girls 8, senior double and maybe one more entry. More info here. We will try to finalize lineups by the end of the week. We need to have at least three rowers in every room.

We are trying to keep costs down. The hotel comes with a breakfast and has a grill so we will be cooking at the hotel Thursday and Friday evening dinner. I would like to earmark a couple of rooms for rowers whose parents will not be going down. Please contact me as soon as possible if you are not planning to go down with your child so we can allocate them a spot in the "team room" and organize travel plans. 

Thursday departure should be as close to noon as possible and go directly to the race course. We will be boating from the launch area ½ mile south of the finish line on Kelly Drive. The van will leave from the boathouse at 4:30 pm and go directly to the hotel. The frosh and varsity girls should be able to get a row in, the boys 8 will practice with Alex and Brendan.

Bows and cox’ns should go to the Stotebury webpage and be familiar with the traffic patterns for Thursday, Friday and the time trial. www.stotesburycup.com

Theo D’Amico will be organizing Thursday and  Friday evening dinner.  Breakfast is available at the hotel. Frosh girls will be leaving very early and should plan on a snack on their own Friday am.

Parking is very tight, so I would expect to walk a lot and would recommend car pooling as much as possible. On Friday parking is available on the plateau overlooking the river and a shuttle is available. Bring sunscreen, a hat, a chair and extra toilet paper (the porta-potties sometimes run out!)
