Fall 2009 Season

The Fall 2009 season starts on Monday August 24th for all high school level rowers and on Tuesday September 8th for all middle school rowers.

High School rowers will participate in 2 weeks of double sessions, before switching to the normal schedule of 3:30 – 6:00 on the 8th of September. Please review the attached schedule for any questions. Please also remember, that the race schedule is tentative, and dates/events are subject to change as the season gets underway. Please note, that crew taxi will not start until September 9th. All rowers are expected to find their own transportation to practice prior to September 9th.

All registration and payments are due by the first day of your child’s practice. If they are a high school rower, that would be August 24th and for middle school rowers, that would be September 8th. Please also feel free to mail registration materials to PO Box 248, Burnt Hills, NY 12027, as long as they get to us prior to the first day of practice.

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact us for help. We hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer, and look forward to the start of the Fall 2009 rowing season!!

We can use more cameras at all of our crew meets. We have very little coverage for our Freshman and Modified teams, and virtually none for the Masters.

Please take pictures at these events and submit them for our "BHRA Photo Gallery". Put your pictures on a CD and give them to your child's coach.
