RULES AND REGULATIONS
For Out of Town

BHRA ROWER TRAVEL
 BEHAVIOR RULES

PREFACE:   Over the years BHRA has been admired and respected for its rowers’ accomplishments on the water and behavior off the water.  The BHRA has developed these out-of-town travel rules and regulations for the safety and protection of each and every rower in the organization.  These rules and regulations, in conjunction with the more general out-of-town travel guidelines available not only to the rowers but also to the coaches, chaperones, parents, Club Officers & Board Members, are meant to insure that everyone participating on a BHRA organized trip know what behavior is acceptable and unacceptable and to insure that everyone has a safe, productive and enjoyable trip.  As such, each rower:

  • Is expected to show proper sportsmanship on and off the water.

  • Is expected to show proper courtesy, cooperation and respect for all the chaperones, coaches and BHRA Officers and Board members on a trip and must be willing to abide by their decisions.

  • Will be held responsible for their actions as well as any damage to property or loss of other’s property while on the trip.

  • Will not drink alcoholic beverages of any kind, uses any illegal drugs or smoke while on the trip.

  • Prior to departing, will have their parent or parents notify the Head Coach (who in turn will notify the Head Chaperone) in writing of any medications, non-prescription or prescription that will be brought on the trip.

  • Will only take his or her prescription drugs as prescribed and the non-prescription medications in accordance with the written instructions provided by the parents.

  •  Will notify his or her chaperone, the head coach, the head chaperone or any other designated adult of the need to call a doctor while on the trip or take any medications not in accordance with the written guidelines provided by the rower’s parent.

  • Will not allow strangers and non BHRA individuals into his or her room.

  • Will not enter the room of strangers or non BHRA individuals nor go any place with such individuals

  • Will not allow any rowers of the opposite sex or co-ed groups in his or her lodge/hotel rooms.  All co-ed activities will be in designated areas and chaperoned at all times.

  • Agrees to act appropriately and respectfully at all times.

  • Agrees not to go out of a designated area as determined by coaches and chaperones on their own or in any size group (the latter only with the team and/or chaperones).

  • Agrees to remain with their designated chaperone.  (The procedure to change chaperones is outlined in the general out-of-town guidelines previously mentioned).

  • Will accept responsibility for and will not leave monies, property and/or valuables (cell phones, music players, etc) unattended in his or her room.

  • Understands that the Adult Chaperones and Coaches have the right to enter and inspect a rower’s room at any time that a coach or chaperone feels such entry is necessary.

  • Understands that there will be consequences for inappropriate behavior.  Such consequences can range from parents being immediately notified; exclusion from a club activities, event or race[s]; being sent home (at parent’s expense); or being expelled from the BHRA.    In cases of extreme unacceptable behavior, the Club President with consultation from the head Coach, the other Officers and Board Members, shall make the final determination as to what constitutes an appropriate punishment.  Both the rower and his or her parent will be allowed to present their perspective to the President and the Board prior to any final decision, if they so choose.

We have read and the rower agrees to abide by these rules and regulations when traveling with the Burnt Hills Rowing Association.  I understand that any failure to comply with these rules and regulations carries consequences, examples of which are cited above.
