Novice Team: Tuesday, September 7 – Monday, November 8
Practices: Monday – Thursday, 3:10 – 6:00 p.m.; Friday, 3:10 – 5:00 p.m.

Fees: $180 for the season, checks made payable to HNA Crew. Financial aid is available through the Business Office at school. Rowers who qualify to participate in regattas that require traveling will have additional expenses, for which there is also financial assistance. All requests for financial assistance must be made in writing to the HNA Business Office.

USRowing: Individual USRowing membership is required for participation at the Regional Championship regatta. Experienced rowers should renew their memberships independently. Novice rowers will be registered by the head coach. The annual membership fee is $45 and is included in the program fee for novices.

Where: Lake Union Crew, 11 East Allison Street.  One block west of Eastlake Avenue E. and two blocks south of the University Bridge. Rowers leave school as a group and take the bus from 23rd Avenue East to the boathouse. The bus stops at the top of the hill above the boathouse. Please walk down the hill facing traffic and no more than 2 people across for safety reasons! Some rowers carpool. No driver may take more passengers than there are seat belts.

Parking: Rowers, who drive, must fill the LUC parking lot completely first, and back into the stalls. Do not park on the street unless the lot is completely full. Use the key board to hang your keys when you park behind someone.

Pick Up: We have a requirement from the City of Seattle regarding procedures for parent pick-up of rowers at LUC. When picking up your rowers, you must do one of the following: A. pull into an available on-site parking space, B. pull into a vacant street parking space, C. wait at our off-site spaces at 2920 Eastlake East, or D. pull into one of the ‘waiting zone’ spaces at the intersection, marked with No Parking signs. It is important that you do not hover anywhere on the street, even if you see your rower coming down the dock. Please back into a spot so she can load her bags. We take this requirement of the City very seriously and any rower whose parent does not comply will be cut from the team.

Parent Meeting: Thursday, September 16, 6:30 p.m.at Lake Union Crew.
