Fall Rowing Season

3 Comments

 
While we wait to see the results of the current labour dispute in the public school system, we are planning to host a fall rowing season for the youth rowing community of Victoria.  We have plans in place to support a LVISSAA League or a community rowing season if there is not capacity for teachers and schools to support the league.

Sept 1, 2014 will be GVYRS' deadline for deciding which avenue we will take.  We are excited to see a fall rowing season in Victoria.

Welcome to the new 2013 High School season.  Registration is in high gear and many schools are raring to go.  Securing coaching for all schools has been a challenge this year but we are working through that quickly.  Please check out our website often.  New information is posted regularly.

Reminders:
  • Learn to Row instructors course for new coaches, Registration deadline Monday Sept 9, 2013.
  • Registration deadline is September 15th.  
  • Please do not drop off athletes in the gravel area near the boat house.  All drop off's must be before the lower gravel driveway.  This is a fire lane and there is CRD parks sign-age stating NO DROP OFFS. Please do not use the lane way as a turnaround this cause huge congestion. 
  • Parking at the boathouse is for full time coaching staff within the VRS membership.  Please do not park in the few spots facing the boathouse.
  • Parking in the fisherman's parking is prohibited as well.  They do get upset and they do complain to our boathouse staff and to CRD parks.  Please join us in striving to be good neighbours and park in the lower or upper parking lots.

Coaching Recruitment information Night

7/23/2013

1 Comment

 
Thinking about coaching?  Recently graduated and want to give back to the sport you love?

Please join us in the Spracklen Room at the ELK LAKE Boathouse for an information night for new coaching recruits.  August 29, 7pm
With the withdrawal of the Gorge Rowing and Paddle Club support of the high school season GVYRS will attempt to move the entire high school league to the shores of elk lake.  This move has created a large gap in coaching and many schools are without coaching at all requiring head coaches and some need assistants.   

Looking forward to meeting you there.
