Important information for potential U23 national team members:

In order to secure Belarussian Visas for athletes selected through Trials in time for their departure, all participants must have their valid U.S. passport in hand at Trials. USRowing staff will collect the passports of all coaches and athletes selected to the team immediately after competition and will process the Visa applications on their behalf. This can take 7-10 business days and passports will be returned to the coaches and athletes as soon as possible. Please note that the passport must be valid through December 31, 2010 and have enough blank pages to accommodate a Visa. If your passport expires before that date, or if you do not have a passport, please be sure to start the renewal/application process well in advance of Trials.
