When you become involved in a new organization it’s hard to know what you should do first. Below is a checklist of things that every parent of a new rower should do:
- Join the GAR list serve so that you know all of the important news. Go to the contacts tab and follow the instructions under GAR Youth and Parents Mailing List.
- Complete all of the waivers listed. Some of them are online and some will be hard copies. This is a large set of waivers but should cover us for most of the races this year. Go to the members tab, then youth, then forms. Have your rower bring all hard copies to the boathouse and give them to their coach.
- Complete the online GAR registration. This sets you up in our accounting system and provides emergency contacts for our emergency database. Coaches can access this database with their smart phones at practice. Go to the members tab, then youth, then registration.
- Use the GAR google calendar! You will see every event coming up from races to fundraisers. Go to the calendars tab, then select youth.
- Read the GAR handbook. Go to members, then youth, then guides and rules.
If you have any questions at all about GAR, please contact the coach of your child. They will either assist you or if they cannot, they will make sure that your question goes to the appropriate GAR member who can help you.
Welcome to our team!
