[quote=Anonymous]Our DC is in a public HS crew program. There's not a lot of explaining about shifting, last minute changes to who is in boat, etc. Suffice to say if you miss a practice for ANY reason - including illness or another school activity where you help win a first place award for the school -- you are out. And they don't explain. And they don't publish the rules. DC just figures out "if I miss practice for any reason, I don't row" and the coach doesn't explain why and doesn't talk to me because he is busy with the kids who will row at the next regatta.  This makes sense for rowing because with every practice the group gets more used to each other. And every time your DC is locked out there's a chance the replacement does better and keeps the slot. Kind of like orchestra chairs. If you didn't show up to defend your chair, you lose it. And the conductor isn't going to spend a lot of time explaining that. And he's not going to spend a lot of time focusing on last chair of that's where you land. [/quote]
