SRA Parent Handbook
The sport of rowing is demanding and rewarding, but also confusing to those new to the sport. This Parent Handbook will help you and your rower through the first year and beyond.
SRA Parking Lot
We have a large number of cars coming in and out of the SRA parking lot, due to the size of our thriving Junior Program. To help make pickup and dropoff easier, we need everyone to follow a few simple rules. Here is our parking lot policy; it is important that you follow this in order to keep our parking lot safe and accident free.
Parent Volunteerism
We have some of the best rowers on the water, and now our goal is to build a parental support program to match. Parent volunteerism is key to this. We want to be one of the best programs in the nation, on and off the water. Please take a moment to look over these Parent Volunteer Opportunities. Then contact the Junior Parent Committee to let them know how you can help. Honestly, your help makes all the difference.
Rowing Clothing
What your child wears while rowing can have a big effect on their safety and happiness. Find out what this should be here.
Youth Program Calendar
The calendar has the regatta schedule for this season and other important dates. Athletes are expected to attend as many regattas as possible. We encourage parents to do so as well. Whether you are an old hand at regattas, or have never been to one in your life, here are some articles to help:
