[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just say you’re talking about crew OP[/quote]

If it’s crew, then they’ll have a bunch of novices each year to replace graduating seniors. Coach probably runs a novice boat for each varsity boat. So they’re not going to run short as they’ll always have replacements ready to go.

If your kid DOES make the team, then you as parents better step up to the plate. Say you make the novice crew. Now you need to show you’re worth being part of the team past this year.

So make yourselves essential. Take on a leadership role in the booster club. Volunteer at each regatta; go ahead and take the early AM slot that no one wants. Be GENEROUS in supporting the fundraising efforts. Buy up the fruit baskets and the wreathes and the candy bars and whatever. Buy and share top-shelf liquor and mixers for cocktails at the meets.

And here’s a subtle one: recruit kids from other schools to attend YOUR coach’s summer camp. It’s one thing to attend yourself, but that’s a given. But like with politics, if you’re a BUNDLER, then you get a seat at the table. Or in your kid’s case, a permanent spot on the team.[/quote]
