Tritons Rowing - High School Registration

This form must be submitted separately for each athlete you'd like to register.

Be sure to read each section of this registration form! There is important information and links in many of the sections. We are happy to answer questions if any part of the registration process is unclear but often the answer to your questions is in the section description or in a link.

You are registering for a Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer season on the high school team. Before registering, please check the season dates on our website to make sure you are able to attend the practices and regattas.

Fall & Spring Season Tryouts: There is a tryout period each fall and spring season. This gives new athletes a low risk opportunity to try the sport and gives our coaches the ability to ensure all athletes will be good members of the team.

Coaches are not looking for specific performance metrics during tryouts. They will be evaluating athletes based on attendance, attitude, effort, and respect. It is never our intention to cut an athlete who wants to be on the team and to date we have never cut due to athletic ability.

Travel: Rowing is a traveling sport with 3-4 races each fall and spring season. The races listed on our website may not be updated if something changes during the season so you should always look at the team calendar for up to date information.

Families are responsible for making their own transportation arrangements to and from the regattas and we have a parent chat group to help facilitate that if you cannot attend the race. Athletes are required to be at the hotel by 7:30 pm the night before each race for the team meeting so please plan your departure time according. "Early is on time and on time is late."

The athletes are in team rooms booked and paid for by Tritons Rowing as part of the travel fee. We will have a block of rooms reserved for parents to use at their own expense but with the team's group discount.

Financial: Rowing is a club sport that does not receive financial support from the schools. The season registration fee covers the costs associated with practices and regatta entry. There is an additional travel fee for each spring and fall season to cover athlete hotels and race day food at the regatta site. The travel fee must be paid for your athlete to be eligible to travel and compete.

Limited financial aid may be available for the fall and spring seasons. If you would like to join the team but need financial assistance please email Coach Chris before submitting your registration.

Refunds: The first $50 of the season registration fee is non-refundable. If you choose to drop or are cut for any reason before the start of the first practice after tryouts end for fall and spring seasons OR before the start of the 6th practice for winter and summer seasons, you will be refunded the season registration fee minus $50 and minus the processing fees. If you choose to drop or are cut for any reason after that, no refunds will be given.

Fall Registration

The team registration fee covers the costs associated with training and competing.

There is a travel fee assessed before the first regatta that covers athlete hotel rooms and breakfast and lunch on race days at the regatta site.

Homecoming

We do our best to avoid races on Homecoming weekend but between Central, West, St Francis, and Greenspire it's not always possible.

If your athlete's school's Homecoming (not another school's Homecoming) falls on a race weekend, our team policy is to allow Juniors and Seniors to leave the race as soon as their last event is done. Freshman and Sophomores must stay until the trailer is fully loaded.

Attendance at all regattas is required.

I have read the travel fee information and regatta attendance policy. I understand how the team handles Homecoming and commit to attending all races.

Fall Regatta Waiver

Some of the regattas we attend have individual waivers that must be completed.

Please click each of the links below, complete, and submit the waiver.

If you have multiple athletes on the team you must submit the waiver once for each athlete.

Once done simply check the box to indicate it's been completed. If your athlete does not have a completed waiver, the regatta director for that race will not allow them to compete. That means we have to scratch our entry for the event, will lose the entry fee for the event, will incur a scratch penalty fee, and all teammates in your athlete's boat will not be able to race.

Heron Henley & Arctic Classic Race Waiver

I have completed the fall race waiver.

Uniforms

Unis are made to order and take 4 weeks to arrive.

Team Jackets

Team rain jackets are not required but are recommended for the rainy spring and fall seasons. They have taped and sealed seams and an inner lining to keep the rain out and keep you dry. Jackets take 4-6 weeks to make and are shipped to the team.

USRowing Membership

All athletes are required to have an annual USRowing membership in order to be covered by our team's insurance policy and to register for spring races.

Information on the basic and championship level memberships can be found here. A basic membership is all that's required.

Memberships are valid for 12 calendar months from the date you sign up. Please make sure your membership will not expire during the season.

It is very important that the USRowing membership be in the Athlete's Name and should be entered exactly as you registered for the team. We frequently see memberships in the parent's name rather than the athlete's name. That will stop us from being able to register your athlete for spring races and is a process to get changed with USRowing (they often take 1-2 weeks to reply during the spring season).

If you are asked for a club code to affiliate your membership with Traverse City Tritons Rowing, it is: QY2XX

New Rowers (create a new membership) Returning Rowers (renew your membership)

What is your Athlete's USRowing membership number?

Does the Athlete's Name in USRowing match how they are registered for the season?

Yes

Will the USRowing membership expire during the current season?

Yes

Communication & Attendance

Knowing where to find information throughout the season is important to your success on the team. Depending on when you sign up, the Google Drive folder might be locked down. These links will be sent via email shortly before the start of the season.

Documents & Files

We utilize Google Drive for almost everything. Here you will find our team's season spreadsheet, regatta expectations, and various documents that will help you better understand what we are teaching, how the team operates, and how to continue improving.

Schedule

We utilize a calendar in the team spreadsheet for each season with all practice and regatta dates. The Regatta Info tab will have all important race and hotel information.

Email

You will be added to a Google Group for all email communication. You do not need to log in to the Google Group. This is only used as an email distribution list. If you do not receive emails, please check your junk / spam folder. Only coaches and team managers can send messages to this group but you can reply to the person who sent the message. All emails will have the prefix [Tritons High School Rowing].

Text Messaging

We will be utilizing a WhatsApp group for all important / time sensitive information and you will be added to the group. We have message groups for Athletes & Coaches, Parents & Coaches, and All Members.

The below apps will be regularly used and need to be installed on your phone.

Attendance Policy

We have a 5 absence policy each season. Competitive rowing requires teamwork, coordination, timing, and athletic ability. This can only be learned in the boat with the athletes you will be racing with. Missing practice effects your progress and that of your boat. Any athlete that misses more than 5 practices will be allowed to continue practicing but will not be allowed to race. The season travel fee will not be refunded due to violations of our attendance policy.

I will monitor my email and texts for all team communication and will respond or take action in a timely manner.

Yes, I have the required apps installed and confirmed I am either already logged in or have created an account.

I understand the attendance policy and will honor my commitment to the team.
