Practice Times
Please see the spring practice schedule and/or our master calendar for practice times at GWC.
Coxswains
You will be responsible for your cox box. You will need to bring it home each night to charge it and bring it to practice each day.
Bad Weather Plan
A text alert will be sent should conditions warrant a change to practice times and/or location. Practice on the Genesee River is contingent on air temperature, water temperature, and water flow rate. Should the coaches determine that conditions are unfavorable, practice will be moved to the PIRC. Any decision to move practice will be made by 2 pm the day of practice. Coaches will also send out notifications via text alert. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR REMIND APP or TEXT MESSAGES FOR ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS PRIOR TO DRIVING TO PRACTICE EACH DAY.
Important: On rare occasions, conditions may change just prior to your arrival at the river. Parents dropping off athletes should remain for a few minutes to confirm we are still set to row.
Absences
Athletes, as always, if you are going to be late or absent, contact your head coach ahead of time. Our goal is to obtain as much water time as possible. Late arrivals or no shows delay launch times - we must be efficient with our practice time.
What to Wear
Dress for the weather conditions! It will be colder on the water than on land. Be sure to bring warm clothes and dress in layers.
