Space Coast Crew

Middle School (6th - 8th grade)

Welcome to the 26th Season for Space Coast Crew (SCC). Our Middle School program is open to all 6th - 8th graders in Brevard County, Florida no matter where you attend. Middle School Crew is Fun and Challenging!

Space Coast Crew Middle School Rowing is a recreational team program designed to introduce rowing to boys and girls attending any Brevard County school (6th, 7th, & 8th graders). The goal is to introduce rowing while maintaining an informal and fun atmosphere.

A full season of Middle School Crew runs from mid-August- April, with a break in December of each calendar year. Our Middle School team competes at several regattas in the fall and spring and learns healthy workout and lifestyle habits while picking up new skills, physical and mental strength in a fun environment.

Registration and Dues have been increased by $50 for the Full year over the 2019-2020 rates ($1,450). Your membership fees mainly go towards coaching salaries, equipment and equipment repair, regatta and travel fees, launch fuel, insurance and professional fees. The board works to establish a balanced budget as a non-profit while trying to ensure we remain affordable for our families. Thankfully, we expect to have a more normal season this year by providing our athletes plenty of opportunities to race and be together. Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout the past year.

Registration for the 2021/2022 Middle School Crew Team will OPEN SOON!
While rising 8th graders may choose to join either the Middle School Team or the HS Team as a novice, this isn't a light decision; the HS team has a much more stringent workout regimen and practice schedule and is required to attend more regattas during the year.

Middle School Practice Times starting August 16th, 2021:

Fall Practice Schedule:		Weekday	Saturday
Middle School*	(A) Monday, Wednesday, Saturday	5:15-7:15 pm	8:00-10:30 am
	(B) Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday	5:15-7:15 pm	8:00-10:30 am
*Middle school family will be able to choose between the two schedules when registering. This will help keep the groups smaller and more manageable. Both sessions combine on Saturdays.

Practice is at the SCC Boathouse at Oars & Paddles Park, Indian Harbour Beach, rain or shine--- unless you hear something different from the Coaches!

Spring practice schedule may be adjusted due to day light hours limitations but will remain on the same days.

Registration Listing

2021-2022 SCC Middle School Team Registration

Space Coast Crew Mission: To promote a developmental rowing program that embodies sportsmanship & ethics, principles of respect & responsibility, and personal growth through winning & losing with dignity & self-control.

Please find the registration package for the SCC Middle School rowing team. All sections regarding policies, waivers and notices must to be read, reviewed, considered and agreed to during the registration process. You will receive a confirmation email when registration is complete with a link to the Required Sport Physical form, and a link to the Swim Test form to print (if you don't have a swim test on file).

Registration and Dues cover program and equipment costs, coaches' salaries, a t-shirt, practices, regatta entry fees (spring), yearbooks, holiday and year end parties and food at the regattas. This program is for rowers in grades 6th - 8th. Rowers who are in 6th grade will need to meet with the coaches to ensure they are ready for the team prior to registration. This may be done through a summer camp or meeting coaching staff at the boathouse. Families will continue to have a choice of two practice schedules for their rowers. This will help keep the groups smaller and more manageable. Both sessions combine on Saturdays.

A) Monday, Wednesday 5:15 -7:15 pm and Saturday 8:00 - 10:30 am
B) Tuesday, Thursday 5:15 - 7:15 pm and Saturday 8:00 - 10:30 am.

Regarding volunteer hours (10 hours per rower): We need many volunteers to keep the team operating. Many opportunities can be done in person or socially distance environment. Please select one or more ways you are interested in volunteering this year from the choices provided. Food Tent help is always needed and we are looking for families who have a diesel truck and are willing to help us tow the food trailer to and from regattas. If nothing is chosen, you will see the volunteer hours added as a dollar amount in checkout. This is up to you- we had families choose this last year. We are looking forward to parent and board engagement to plan and fund the things that make our rower's time at SCC great!

Each rower needs a YEARLY Sports Physical form completed. This form must be printed out, then filled out and signed by an M.D., then submitted in person, in a sealed envelope with rower's first and last name, as soon as possible. This should be delivered at the Registration day Aug 21st.

Space Coast Crew requires EKG's for all athletes as is the policy for Brevard County Schools. Who We Play For is a Non-profit organization that is helping to make these available through out the community. Please visit www.whoweplayfor.org/screening for a list of upcoming EKG clinics. If your athlete has already had an EKG, you will need to provide a copy with the physical.

Please note: As a non-profit scholastic sports team, payments are accepted by Visa/MasterCard only and the card used for Registration will be kept on file securely by Blue Sombrero and charged. Dues based on the payment schedule you select. This year we are offering a monthly payment schedule or you may pay in full.
