The GAR Handbook provides plenty of useful information for rowers and their parents.

For most of GAR’s new rowers, rowing is very unfamiliar territory. Parents and guardians can feel overwhelmed by the newness of it all. Many aspects of GAR and of rowing require a little getting used to: the sport itself, with its own language; the organization, with its established ways of doing things; and the regattas, which are a world unto themselves. This Handbook was written to help with all of that uncertainty. It contains information about GAR and how it operates, what to expect at regattas, driving directions to regattas, and many other details. In addition, it provides an introduction to the sport of rowing and its terminology. The information in this Handbook tends to remain the same from year to year.

NOTICE: GAR has made every attempt to insure that the information in this Handbook is accurate. Unforeseen events and circumstances may affect club policies and procedures, however. We will make it our priority to keep you informed of any changes via email.
