| Para-Rowing Classification Workshop
October 17 & 18 at CRI
|
USRowing is sponsoring a Para-Rowing Classification Workshop, hosted by Community Rowing, Inc. on October 17 and 18, 2013 at the Harry Parker Boathouse. Judy Morrison, FISA Head Classifier and
USA Classification Coordinator, will lead this workshop, intended for coaches, former rowers, and medical professionals to become certified as classifiers for para-rowing events, and for para-rowers who have an interest in competing, but have not yet been officially classified.
Expanding the knowledge base of our coaches in the growing para rowing field is key for our success at every level. For your information, Medical Classifiers can be Medical Doctors (MD), Physical Therapists (PT), or Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). They must have extensive knowledge and experience with goniometric measurements and manual muscle testing skills. Technical Classifiers can be rowers, former rowers, coaches, and those with practical knowledge of the sport of rowing. They should have experience with Para-Rowing.
