CONSTRAINTS The Director of Rowing requires anyone to advise him of any constraints for Rowers and Coxswains within their training group. Some may need to have discussions with Coaches around possible constraints they may have around selection and participation in certain required events. The Selectors will try to consider some of these constraints where they apply to Rowers and Coxswains who have been participants in the high performance group (1sts and 2nds boats) over an extended period of time. Any consideration of these constraints and their subsequent impact is completely at the discretion of the Coaches and the Selectors and will apply for this year only.
