The Novice Regatta at Turkey Lake Park in Orlando kicks off the Sprints season and is usually the first event for new parents. Here is a quick primer on what to expect.

Directions to the Crowne Plaza – Orlando Universal.

Directions from Crowne Plaza to Turkey Lake.

Please be advised that coach Dawn has requested to Belen’s administration to permit all Novice rowers to be dismissed from school at 10:00 a.m.. on Friday February 12th.

Coach Dawn highly recommends that all athletes report to practice at 4:00 p.m. at Bill Frederick Park At Turkey Lake Park since most of the boys will be rowing in this course for the first time.

Crew members whose parents cannot leave early are encouraged to find transportation with other teammates.

The novice squad is made up of all first-year rowers including freshmen. Novice teams race other novice boats, so that all first-year rowers compete against each other. Each race takes between six minutes, 30 seconds and eight minutes depending on boat class as well as wind and water conditions.
