Step 6. Complete the HRA Roster

Huron Rowing Association (HRA) Roster and Emergency Contact Form

We collect up-to-date information for all rowers and at least one parent/guardian each season to facilitate team communications (practice times, regatta information, clothing orders, establishing carpools, emergency contact, etc.).
Be sure to read both the HRA Code of Conduct Policy and the HRA Financial Commitment Policy. Submitting this form indicates that both the rower and the rower's parents agree to the terms of both policies.

Step 7. Pay HRA Assessment

The minimum assessment is $500. The actual assessment is $575.

Please note, the minimum assessment provides the least financial coverage of operating expenses. The actual assessment provides coverage of the operating expenses plus a small amount for unexpected costs and to maintain the cash reserve.

Families are required to pay the minimum assessment of $500. Families are encouraged, but not required, to pay the actual assessment ($575.)

A limited number of scholarships are available. Please download the Scholarship Application
