HeLLO Parents
You are here at an exciting time!
ETHS Rowing was established in Fall of 2022, and in just a few short years has grown into an incredible community of student-athletes, coaches, and families.
Supporting the team is the ETHS Rowing Parent Board. This group takes on much of what happens outside of coaching so our coaches can focus on what they do best: coaching, developing athletes, and keeping them safe.
From travel logistics and regatta meals to fundraising, merchandise, communications, and team events, it truly takes a village to make ETHS Rowing work.
Just as importantly, we support the teams commitment to keeping rowing accessible to every student, regardless of a family's ability to pay.
We are welcoming you and
encourage you to join!
Rowing Parent Handbook
The parent group has put together the ETHS Rowing Parent Handbook as your go-to resource for the season. It covers the common questions that come up along the way, from how the team operates and what to expect at regattas to communication, travel, volunteering, meals, and more.
New to rowing? Start here. And keep it handy throughout the season when questions come up.
Why is your involvement
so important?
Rowing is unlike most high school sports. Many athletes are experiencing it for the first time, and practices and competitions take place on the water, outdoors in all kinds of weather, often farther from school than a typical high school event.
It also takes a tremendous amount of coordination to move athletes, boats, and equipment to practices and regattas—and it comes with significant costs.
That’s where our parent community makes a difference. Every family that lends a hand helps make the experience better for our athletes and helps keep rowing accessible to everyone.
You don’t need to know anything about rowing to get involved. Most of us didn’t when we started!
How can you be involved?
The short answer: Anyway you can!
Our dedication to breaking barriers of exclusivity in the sport of rowing means there is plenty for all of us to do.
Through our various committees, there’s something for everyone.
Fundraising, team dinners, regatta coordination, communications, merchandise, events—you name it.
Have a special talent? Great. More of a worker bee who just wants to jump in and help? Even better.
Whether you want to lead, organize, or simply lend a hand when you can, there’s a place for you and a need at hand!
Check out our committees and find your place, and, of course, we need everyone to show up and cheer!
