With the amount of new and returning crew members this spring their future looks bright for the season. The crew team has a lot of new members than they last year. They look forward to training everyone and to future races. There are 64 members this year and it is the “most in five years since [she] has been coaching,” stated coach Shauna Campbell.
Although having a lot of members can get hectic, the team has managed to figure out a way to organize how they practice. They have tried different ways to organize practices to see which one helps everyone get the same amount of training. So far they have decided to divide practice into two sessions so that everyone can get the help they need. “We do not want the team too separate,” stated Campbell. So they try to get the team together as much as possible.
Crew may seem simple but it really is not. Many new members are not used to the amount of work the crew team puts into practices and are trying to accommodate to their new schedule. The team is working on improving team effort. Some members need to put in all their effort to make sure that the team is improving so that they know they are prepared. The boys team also wants to maintain their Greater Boston League title and the boys varsity team want to qualify for finals and states. Whereas the girls want to start getting on the map and start building a strong team to be able to compete.
But in order to make a sport fun for everybody they need to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. “Especially with the several new members we have this season, it is not easy to detect discomfort and insecurity in a team member,” stated senior captain Manny Martinez.
The varsity team and coaches are trying to make the environment enjoyable and exciting for everyone. They want to make sure everyone is comfortable. “[Crew] is really fun and different,” exclaimed Campbell.
The crew team is happy and excited to work with all the new members and hopes that it will be a great season with all the effort and hard work everyone can contribute to the team.
