Roosevelt High School Rowing Parent Guidelines

Your support is essential to the success of our program. The more parental assistance we have the more time and effort we can put into coaching. We greatly appreciate all of the efforts and support the parents give the rowing program. Please follow the guidelines below to help us establish and maintain a safe and positive environment for our student-athletes.
At practice'.
?• You can watch your child row from along the shore during practices. Avoid the docks,
blacktop and WBC facilities when picking rowers up or dropping them off before
practice.
?• The WBC parking lot is small and crowded during the season. You can pick rowers up and
drop them off on Pine Street.
?• Wait until practice is over to address the athletes or the coaches.
At regattas:
?• Regatta venues are an extension of Roosevelt High School and the rowers are the
responsibility of the coaching staff.
?• Even when not racing, our rowers have a responsibility to the team and are under the
direction of the coaching staff.
?• Respect the time that coaches and rowers need to prepare for and meet after races.
?• Rowers and coaches are busy at regattas and must balance several responsibilities at a
given time.
?• Avoid staging areas and docks. These areas are crowded and can be dangerous. Keep a
close eye on children and never step over equipment.
?• Decisions made by regatta officials are not always clear and immediate. Respect the
officials and allow the coaches to follow regatta procedures concerning these decisions.
?• Rowers will remain at the regatta site at all times unless arrangements have been made
through the coaching staff and Roosevelt High School (see the Roosevelt High School
Athletic Handbook). Arrangements to take your children home must be made in advance
with a RHS administrator.
