This year the Dad Vail is hosting The Philadelphia Challenge Cup, which will feature four of the top men and women single scullers in the world. As part of this special event, the DV also will host the inaugural 2011 Gold Cup Clinic. Each Olympic oarsman/woman will give a clinic about their training methods, technique, race strategy, etc. geared toward high school and college oarsman and coaches as well as any other interested party. The clinic, free to all who preregister, will take place on Thursday, May 12 in Dad Vail-sponsored tents on Kelly Drive along the race course. There will be a well-marked sign-in area for the attendees. For more information or to register your athletes, visit http://www.dadvail.org/Clinic .
