2013 TSRA ROLL AND PADDLING PRACTICE SESSIONS – TSU POOL!!
YOU WILL NEED A NEOPRENE SKIRT FOR YOUR WW KAYAK OR SEA KAYAK IN THESE SESSIONS.
What: TSRA will again utilize the pool at Tennessee State University for winter pool practice. These pool sessions will be open to all TSRA members. We will be providing informal instruction in various paddling related skills on different nights to those interested: Rolling your boat, bracing, strokes, safety and rescues, conditioning, and GAMES!
If you aren’t interested in instruction, then come and practice your own roll! This will be a GREAT opportunity to make that roll bombproof, sharpen up your brace, or just get your boat wet on a winter evening in a clear, warm pool! We hope to see you there! FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT JACK LYLE ([masked] OR [masked]).
Where: The Tennessee State University Aquatic Center, located next to the main gymnasium of the Howard C. Gentry Athletic Complex. Turn into this facility off of Dr. Walter S. Davis Boulevard. The pool area will be on your right. Parking is allowed along the road by the softball fields or in the main parking lot to your left as you enter the
Athletic Complex area. You are allowed to drop your boat off at the door before parking, if you wish.
When: February 20, and 27; March 6, 13 ,20, and 27
Times: All pool sessions will start at 6:00 p.m. and go to 8:00 p.m.

Awesome thank you. Deb I hate to ask all these questions but I have one more. I went to the link a couple days ago and paid the $30 pool fee but did not see an option to add the ACA event $5 fee to that. So I guess my question is If I am preregistered but have not paid my ACA event fee $5 which line do I get in...again sorry for the questions.

You are correct Jason. So you will need to pay it at the desk the first night. Not sure why it isn't there.

-Please pre-register if at all possible.
-There will be a seperate designated line for pre-registered members.
-You will receive an entrance bracelet upon your first night check-in. This bracelet will get you through the lines quickly every night.
For those who have not pre-registered, you will need to use one of the other registration lines.
-For those of you who have not pre-registered their TSRA membership, there will be onsite membership sign-up and renewal at each session. Please use the designated membership sign-up table.
IMPORTANT: attach your entrance bracelet to your PFD or helmet so you will have it every night you attend. DO NOT LOSE YOUR ENTRANCE BRACELET!
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE INSTRUCTORS FOR THE EVENT FOR TSRA, PLEASE GO TO THE INSTUCTOR REGISTRATION TABLE WHEN YOU ARRIVE. If you are an instructor who owes for the ACA insurance you will be able to pay it at this table.February 14

Yes Tom. I would love some more help at the front desks. I am hoping by the second session everyone will be pre-registered and we will only need a couple to run only one front desk, but until then...I greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.

Deb I would like to attend but I am curious how it would work for my 10 year old son. He has all his gear but would I need to register and pay separately for him as well being that he is 10 years old? I will I have no problem with that I just need to know how to go about doing it.

with that said, you only have to pay for one family TSRA membership if you haven't already done so. This you can do on the TSRA website at www.paddletsra.org

The more we have pre-register online at the TSRA website, the easier and faster you will get through the check in lines. If you can get pre-registered you will receive a bracelet upon your first night check-in which will get you through the line quickly each night there after. You will need to attach this bracelet to your PFD or helmet so you will have it every night you come. DO NOT LOSE YOUR ENTRANCE BRACELET!

Correct Ron, it's a flat $30 no matter how many classes you attend. There will be discussions, demonstrations, practice areas to combat proof your roll and bracing, instructors galore, and of course an instruction area.

Hey all, your skirt needs to be a form fitting skirt, made to keep the water out of your boat when you roll. It should not, in most cases have zippers, suspenders, or easily become detached from your boat or from you.
Your boat should be a rollable boat: whitewater kayak, sea kayak, whitewater canoe....(if you paddle a ww canoe, you already know you won't need a skirt)

If all you have is a skirt that has zippers and suspenders, but it is a tight fit and does keep the water out, and does not fall off during a roll, by all means come on out and give it a try.

Each night after Roll Sessions we meet at Flying Saucer to unroll and unwind and share our tales of the evening's events. We'd love to see you there.
