About SRAA

The 2012 “Scholastic Nationals” sponsored, since 1935, by the Scholastic Rowing Association of America. SRAA is the principal source of rules and procedures governing high school rowing. The primary function of the SRAA is to run the scholastic championship regatta each May, determining the North American Champions. High school athletics does not allow sporting events to be held which decide national champions. This regatta, nevertheless, is informally recognized by the rowing community as a national championship. Learn more about SRAA at http://www.sraa.net

We will once again be offering a summer training program for all LARA rowers. The camp will be held at Loyola Academy, in the weight room and outside on the athletic field. The camp will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning Tuesday, June 5, 2012 through Thursday, July 26, 2012. Camp times in June will be 12:30-2:00pm, the times in July will be 2-3:30pm.

Jeff Lindeman, Loyola’s strength and conditioning coach will be running the camp, with its focus being on core, flexibility and endurance. This camp is a great opportunity to stay conditioned in the off season, and to provide balance to the body, by working and strengthening muscles that are not always used during the season.

LARA Summer Training Camp is optional, but strongly encouraged.
