[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course why do you think parents sign their kids up for rowing and fencing [/quote] As the parent of a kid who just started rowing we didn’t sign him up for anything. Crew doesn’t really start until high school and most kids are making their own sports choices by then unless they have hyper helicopter parents. An older friend who was enthusiastic about the sport suggested our son check it out. Turns out he’s a natural talent which the friend probably guessed. Height and strength being a good combo for crew. Being good at it makes it fun. He’ll probably continue. Coach has already made talked to him about recruitment which surprised me. Didn’t know recruitment can start as early as sophomore year.[/quote]
