Logistics:

The scholastic sports season ends in June. The 2023 goal for Lourdes Crew is to get everyone on the team trained, skilled, and get as much time in boats on the water!
Coaches make all final decisions on which regattas to attend (if any), and seat assignments in boats.
If the coaches have chosen rowers to race at an away regatta, logistic details will be communicated at that time.
Training will be held at Hudson River Rowing Association (HRRA) premises. The “Boathouse” is located at: 272 N. Water Street in Poughkeepsie
The coaches will coordinate training times for Novices and JV/Varsity rowers separately. Generally, JV/Varsity rowers train in the mornings (before school hours) - carpool can be arranged and Novices train in the afternoons (after school hours). Expect training to be scheduled possibly on Saturdays as well.
Lourdes Rowing has a Facebook page www.facebook.com/LourdesRowing/ where information will be posted, as well as the school website. Important updates and changes will be sent out via email.

Uniforms: measurements will be taken in January for unis, t-shirt orders for novice rowers will be placed in March.

2023 Lourdes Crew Fees:

First Year Rower/Novice: $700
Returning Rowers/Varsity: $1100, which includes a new 2-piece uni
- $1000 if you do not want a new 2-piece uni

About Lourdes Crew and the Lourdes Rowing Association, Inc.

The Lourdes Crew Team is officially sanctioned by the school, but is not fully financially supported by them. The team receives a stipend from the school (less than 10% of the operating budget) but the rest of the cost must be covered by registration fees collected from the Athletes and fundraising activity by the Lourdes Rowing Association. Running a crew team is expensive. Operational budget must cover Boathouse Use and Equipment Lease Fees, Insurance (Liability, Equipment), Coaching Stipends, Regatta Memberships and Race Entry Fees, Equipment Operation costs and repairs.

Payment Information:

$200.00 deposit is due with completed registration submission.
We are offering a 3-month payment plan beginning this January, if you have any questions you may contact the LRA President at lourdesrowing@gmail.com
Remaining balance for all athletes must be paid by March 1, 2023. Any athlete who is not paid in full by this date will not be allowed on the water until their account is fully paid. If there are circumstances that preclude meeting timely payment, please contact the LRA President before February 15, 2023.
