Our club operates as a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization called Bare Hill Rowing Association, Inc. Our scholastic programs go under the name of Bromfield Acton- Boxborough Rowing. We do not receive financial support from either schools or towns. We want to encourage your interest and enthusiasm as a parent to support the team’s efforts. Parents are expected to fill at least 2 volunteer spots per season. We are very fortunate to have a great coaching staff. BHRA employs several coaches each season. We do our best to match the coach to athlete ratio per squad to provide a safe practice environment. Every coach has your student-athlete’s best interests at heart. While the team’s ultimate goal is to be successful at regattas, we do not place winning above a safe, positive team experience. It is important that if you ever have a question or concern that you contact your athlete's coach so that you can get the correct information. Educating yourself about what is going on is the most important way you can support both your athlete and your coach. This is a sport of great highs and lows; each of these feelings plays an integral role in the overall experience and educational process of our athletes. We will be consistent in our philosophy and will make selection decisions based primarily on boat speed, supported by other criteria laid out under the heading Selection Criteria. General Practice Schedule The practice schedule will normally be: Novice Girls and Boys: 3:20-5:20pm Monday through Friday Varsity Girls: 3:20-5:30pm Monday through Friday and Saturday (time TBA) Varsity Boys: 3:20-5:50pm Monday through Friday and Saturday (time TBA) Eighth Grade Girls: 3:20-4:35pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and 3:20-5:20pm Friday Eighth Grade Boys: 4:20-5:35pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and 3:20-5:20pm Friday Races are posted on the website and are held on Saturdays or Sundays but check the schedule to be sure. We look forward to seeing you at the races! 3 Our Sport The sport of rowing, though a team sport is unlike most team sports in that there is no “star,” no “playmaker,” and no “MVP.” Rowing is symmetry, synergy, and synchronization; the ultimate team sport where all of the rowers and coxswain in a boat must work in perfect timing with one another to be successful. A rower must strive to become a carbon copy of the teammate sitting in front or behind them. So the saying goes… “A crew is only as strong as its weakest link.” Even the most talented rowers will take many years of practice and thousands of strokes to achieve the fitness and skill to move their boat fast enough to win Olympic gold. Rowing is a highly technical and physically demanding sport. That may sound a little scary for someone just starting out, but do not be deterred. Joining this team will provide your student- athlete one of the best experiences of their young lives. A commitment to rowing is more than just a commitment to physical training; it is also a commitment to teamwork, accountability and camaraderie. While we will work hard in practice, we will also have fun and, as a team, we will go on a journey of becoming successful oarsmen and women together. Show your “Rowing Cred” We are involved in the sport of ROWING – NOT CREW. The word “crew” means the same as “team” and is closely associated with the sport of rowing. We are the Bromfield Acton- Boxborough Rowing Team or the Bromfield Acton- Boxborough Crew. We are NOT the Bromfield Acton-Boxborough Crew Team. This phrasing is redundant and rowers cringe when they hear that combination of words used. Goals The Bromfield Acton-Boxborough Rowing Team seeks to foster a positive and supportive environment for scholastic boys and girls to effectively learn how to row safely and well. In doing so, we aim to build a solid technical, mental, and physical base not only for their careers as rowers but also as student athletes and young men and women. As a team we will learn not only how to put our blades in the water, but also how to push ourselves mentally and physically, and how to encourage our teammates while working together towards a common goal. In joining our team, individuals will be asked to commit not just to learning a new sport, but also to sharing a team mentality and embracing hard work. By learning and working together, by pushing one’s self and one’s teammates in a positive manner, the Bromfield Acton- Boxborough team will produce fast and fun crews. Parents You are essential to our team’s success! Your support and encouragement not only keep the rowers going but the program going as well. To be successful in achieving our mission, it is essential that families, athletes and coaches work together as a cohesive team. Working together, we strive to foster relationships based on honesty, respect and civility and help young people become educated, mature and responsible young adults. Rowing is a beautiful and demanding sport that builds character, physical strength, mental toughness, self-confidence and promotes the true meaning of the word "team." Rowing also demands a larger commitment from families in terms of time, money and energy than many other high school sports. Yet the learning experiences, the lasting friendships and sense of community enjoyed by rowers and parents outweigh the demands. The same team spirit and character embodied by the rowers is needed from parents to support and run Bromfield Acton- Boxborough Rowing. Our athletes’ safety and well-being are of principal concern, whether at practice, at the trailer, loading boats and at races. In this spirit, we ask that parents and rowing families, as members of this community, work cooperatively and respectfully with the coaches to ensure the well- being of the athletes who are in our mutual charge. In the best interests of and respect for the team, its athletes and coaches, parents are asked to stay out of the trailer area and well away from team equipment. It is both a distraction and potentially dangerous to have spectators in the trailer and rigging area. Families are welcome to watch the process, however, it is 4 respectfully requested that this be done from a distance. In rowing, the equipment and trailer area is the equivalent of the "team bench" in other sports and we ask that all parents acknowledge and agree that it is a parent-free zone. As a statement of support for an athlete's participation in the BAB rowing program, we ask parents to sign and fulfill "Parent Guidelines" each season when athletes

  • The Rowing Shell Racing Boats (Often Called “Shells”) Are Long, Narrow, and Broadly Semi-Circular in Cross- Section in Order to Reduce Drag to a Minimum
    One of the unique aspects of rowing is that novices strive to perfect the same motions as Olympic contenders. Few other sports can make this claim. In figure skating, for instance, the novice practices only simple moves. After years of training, the skater then proceeds to the jumps and spins that make up an elite skater’s program. But the novice rower, from day one, strives to duplicate a motion that he’ll still be doing on the day of the Olympic finals. - Brad Alan Lewis The Rowing Shell Racing boats (often called “shells”) are long, narrow, and broadly semi-circular in cross- section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. They usually have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw and to increase the effectiveness of the rudder. Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material (usually carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) for strength and weight advantages. FISA rules specify minimum weights for each class of boat so that no individual will gain a great advantage from the use of expensive materials or technology. There are several different types of boats. They are classified using the number of rowers (1, 2, 4, or 8) in the boat and the position of the coxswain (coxless, box-coxed, or stern-coxed). With the smaller boats, specialist versions of the shells for sculling can be made lighter. The riggers in sculling apply the forces symmetrically to each side of the boat, whereas in sweep oared racing these forces are staggered alternately along the boat.

  • COME FORWARD - February 2021
    COME FORWARD - February 2021 There has not been a lot of rowing competition to report on over the last 6 months, due to the Covid 19 restrictions, but there has still been a lot of “background”. Administrators from Rowing Australia and Rowing NSW to all the individual Clubs have been extremely busy working towards when and how competition will resume, and how to manage training. We are fortunate that we have a sport that lends itself better than many to training under these circumstances, and it is clear that there are a lot more rowers getting out in Singles.
