If you have a schedule conflict please contact Coach Kaehler so your request can be accommodated. This camp is designed to teach athletes at all levels how to improve their strength and understanding of how to apply their power to the rowing handle. Each camper will learn about basic flexibility issues they need to concentrate on to help with their athletic improvement. We will spend time working on both flexibility and strength training techniques during each session.
Time Commitment:
Athletes are expected to be on time and picked up right after practice. We will be meeting two times per week for four weeks, and on occasion we might run a little longer scheduled.
What to expect: Practice will be held in the Cross Fit gym at Transcend Fitness. We may train outdoors to break up training. We will be doing some work on the ergometers as part of the power and strength development. Each athlete will need to wear training cloths including good shoes for safe lifting. Please have athletes bring post training food (protein bar, shake, etc.) to assist with post training recovery. Please bring a water bottle 20-32 oz. so drinking fountain breaks are reduced.
Athlete’s requirements: Parents must sign the Coach Kaehler Liability Waiver. We expect all athletes to show up for all sessions unless they are sick, or have an excused absence. If an athlete has more than two unexcused absences he/she may not be permitted to continue. Practices will be run by Coach Kaehler unless otherwise noted.

This program is for experienced rowers and is limited to eight (6) athletes per session for this summer 2014 session. Additional training suggestions will also be made for those athletes who are looking to do additional summer workouts.
