Boat Club starts Winter Rowing Team Challenge!
The King’s School Worcester Boat Club are extremely delighted and excited to announce a new rowing team challenge initiative to help pupils with their motivation and fitness over the forthcoming weeks. Our Boat Club Team Challenge starts on Monday 16 November and finishes on Sunday 7 February at 6.00pm.
The KSWBC Coaching Team have divided each year group between 10 Teams, each led by an Upper Sixth Team Captain(s). Pupils have been allocated a Team and their Team Captain(s) will be contacting them on Teams to introduce themselves and welcome all Team members.
The Team Challenge
- Pupils are required to complete three core exercises and one run each week.
- Pupils will earn points for their Team for every exercise repetition completed in 2 minutes.
- Points will also be awarded for the timed run.
- The KSWBC Coaching Team are aware some pupils cannot run for medical reasons, please email Mrs Bladen on boatclub@ksw.org.uk for an alternate activity.
- Pupils will submit your exercise scores using the online form which will be sent to pupils every Sunday.
- Pupils are required to video their exercise repetitions and upload it to their Teams channel.
- Pupils are required to time their run and upload a screenshot to your Teams channel.
- Mrs Bladen will publish a weekly leader board online and there will be a league table in the Boathouse.
