Parent Information

Look around the website for helpful information on Meetings, Fund Raisers, Schedules, Events and other important news. On top of reading this section thoroughly, ask questions as they come up, as knowledge gained in this section is often too overwhelming for you to completely absorb in one attempt. As each season progresses, the coaches will make decisions and changes as needed to benefit the rowers: please remember they are the ones who lay out the season for us, the schedules, practices and rules, which sometimes means it changes at a moment’s notice. We strive to be flexible!

East Lyme Crew Pasta Supper Information

What is it:

Parents of rowers can host pre-race dinners, called “Pasta” suppers.   It is a great team-building experience and is usually loved by many.  It is not required that all participate, but most do attend if available.

When is it held:

Typically, it is held the night before a race (or the Friday before if not on a Saturday).

Time: Usually starts at ~6 pm and ends around ~8 pm (you set the rules as the host)

What it involves:

The host parent/family provides the following:

-Location for the event (usually hosted at the home of one of the crew members)

- The host set the rules… so if they want in the back yard, basement etc. just let the kids know.

-Silverware, plates, napkins, cups, etc.

-Pasta for the team

-Sauce for pasta

-Activities/games for the kids to do if they wish

Kids on the Crew Team will provide:

• The Crew Captains will send out a message to the crew team, asking each “class” or group of kids to provide one of the following (this changes weekly):
  • Drinks
  • Desserts
  • Sides
