Space Coast Crew

SCC High School / Youth Team (8th - 12th Grade)

Welcome to the 25th Season for Space Coast Crew (SCC). We are open to all youth in Brevard County, Florida no matter what school you attend.

As we are continuing to navigate our lives with COVID 19, there is still some uncertainty in regard to the Fall 2020 racing season. While we wish we could attend our traditional fall regattas, we don’t see that being in the team’s best interest at this point. Regattas are usually very high-contact events (a large amount of people in a small area) and the way that this virus spreads it is not safe for us to be around a large number of other teams. Instead, this year we are working with coaches around our local area to have some low-key scrimmages to help keep our athletes motivated and seeing progress. These would be with one or two other teams at a race site where we can spread apart from each other. If other teams are feeling unsafe or we feel unsafe then we plan to find ways to have inter-squad races and/or positive team-building events throughout the fall.

Reflecting on the current situation, we will be grateful to be able to train our athletes on a daily basis and compete in whatever way we can. While traditional racing is fun, what is most important right now is providing consistency and being able to be together as a team and family. Since the educational experience is being altered, we are here to provide a physical and mental outlet to help everyone cope with life’s challenges. Our hope is that if we train this fall and push ourselves at practice, in the spring season we will be able to return to our traditional races and be very successful.

Registration for the 2020-2021 Season will open July 26th!

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

Please find the registration link for the SCC High School competitive 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.

2020-2021 Practice Schedule - Please note the change in the OFF-Day for the men's and women's teams this fall (August - December 2020).

Fall Practice Schedule:		Weekday	Saturday
High School Men	Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday (OFF Thursday)	4:45-7:00 pm	7:00-10:00 am
High School Women	Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday (OFF Wednesday)	4:45-7:00 pm	7:00-10:00 am

Spring practice will be Monday - Friday (5 weekdays) and Saturdays for both teams as they prepare for championship racing.

Registration and Dues have been reduced by $100 for the Full year to account for the lack of Fall regatta registration fees and expenses. While we may not have traditional regattas in the fall, we still plan to hold scrimmages or events that will include the costs of the food tents as well as taking the boats off-sight and coach run regatta logistics. If the COVID situation is not improving by the Spring, adjustments will be made to Spring dues to reflect those changes. For now, the $1,700 annual fee assumes limited races in the fall through scrimmages and inter-squad events and a normal Spring racing season. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

2020-2021 Space Coast Crew Youth Registration

Space Coast Crew Mission: To promote a competitive 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 High School competitive 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.

Registration and Dues cover programs, equipment maintenance, practices, regatta entry fees (spring only), awards, and food at regattas. Not included are unisuits (>$85), travel expenses to and from regattas in spring (such as bus) and some overnight hotel stays to expect in the spring, nominal membership cost for US Rowing, and a splash jacket optional purchase. Historically all rowers take team buses for some out of town regattas for which seats run about $50 and include pizza dinner on the way home. Important information will be available at our Mandatory Family Meeting on August 22nd and monthly at team Booster Meetings.

Regarding volunteer hours (20 hours per rower): We understand the concerns about fulfilling the hours due to the COVID pandemic, but the team still requires many volunteers to keep it operating. Many opportunities can be done in 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. We also have a couple of open spots on the Board this year. 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 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 can be delivered by the Registration day Aug 22nd.

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 securely on file by Blue Sombrero (Sports Connect) and charged Dues based on the payment schedule you select. This year we will have a monthly payment schedule or you may elect to pay all at once up front.
