Thank You to our Community & Volunteers


Thank you to all the CRI community and volunteer support for our 5th annual 'What Works' Summit Coaching Conference upcoming this weekend!

With more than 100 coaches coming to CRI from across the country, across the world, and from our own coaching staff this weekend to learn and become better coaches, it would not have been possible without the support from all of you that call the boathouse your other home everyday. Thank you for making our CRI community such a welcoming and exciting place to be a part of!

CRI to Host USABA LTA Development Camp
May 29 - June 4, 2015


 

In partnership with USRowing and Community Rowing, Inc., the United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA), is pleased to host an adaptive rowing camp for rowers with physical disabilities and identify potential candidates for participation in the Paralympic Games. The camp will be held in Boston, MA at Community Rowing. 


 
The camp is open to male and female participants but is limited to those eligible for the LTA (Legs, Trunks & Arms) Paralympic boat class. Generally speaking, rowers who can use a sliding seat, such as someone with a visual impairment or with single-leg or single-arm involvement, are in the LTA class.


 
Athletes with disabilities who are currently rowing or have previous rowing experience or who have a high level of fitness and a competitive athletic background are strongly encouraged to apply.Veterans and Active Duty Service Members with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.  


 
This program was funded in part by a grant by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs. Program fees for non-military athletes will be no more than $375 and include all components of the camp (accommodations, ground transportation, meals, equipment, training, etc.).  We endeavor to subsidize these fees for the benefit of qualified candidates. Travel will be the responsibility of the participant.


 

 CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR THE CAMP

Applications must be submitted no later than April 15.
