It's REGATTA Season!
What to Expect
Regattas can be a half day or an all day event depending on the number of boats GV Crew enters. The coaches decide which boats to enter in the regatta. Team members will know by the Friday practice if they will be rowing that weekend. A Remind text will be sent out the morning of the regatta giving you the location of our tent.
The Hospitality Tent is a gathering point for team members and parents to wait for their race and have a bite to eat. The Brinton's are hosting the Hospitality Tent this year and they will collect a small fee each week for those who take advantage of the tasty offerings. This amount can fluctuate a bit so just watch for future emails regarding the cost of the hospitality tent.

More info can be found HERE.
IMPORTANT: US Rowing Registration
All rowers will need to renew or obtain a US Rowing membership in order to compete in regattas. Please look for an email in the next day or two and complete the registration ASAP.
Add the Chipotle Fundraiser to your calendar and be sure to come out and invite all of your friends!
