SUMMARY:American Youth Cup I Regatta
DESCRIPTION:The first of four AYC regattas\, this series is a not-for-profit series of regattas leading up to the USRowing Southeast Youth Championships. The series works to give back to the athletes\, giving crews opportunities to experience competitive\, 2000-meter racing throughout the spring\, ultimately preparing them to excel at the USRowing Youth National Championships in June at NBP. \nCompeting well consistently at the AYC regattas not only helps crews prepare to qualify for the Youth National Championships\, but has the added bonus of a possible financial stipend towards their trip to the championships. At the end of the series\, the team with the most points for an event is declared the AYC series winner for that event. A team will earn a monetary travel stipend towards their trip to the USRowing Youth National Championships should they be declared the winner of an event\, and qualify for Youth Nationals in that event.\n			\n				Book Your Hotel
