Parents

To be able to run a rowing club smoothly and efficiently there are many avenues for parents to become involved, from holding committee positions, to assisting with fundraising, food, transport, accommodation, to providing positive encouragement to the rowers in the forms of getting to training, maintaining fitness, and ensuring good nutrition and adequate rest. It’s about time management and the club recognises the priority of study commitments. Parents should not however interfere with the coaching styles and decisions. Any questions about rowing matters should be directed to the rower’s coach firstly and if further discussion is required it can then be reported to the Team Manager or President, all non-rowing matters to go via the Team Manager or President. We all want the best for our children but once the season begins the rowing decisions will be made by the coaching team.
