No. After their races, rowers are responsible for getting their boats back to the trailer and de-rigging them. After that's done, it's generally considered good sportsmanship to stick around until the end of the regatta and cheer on the rest of the team. Your child's responsibilities continue even after the end of the regatta. When we race at Occoquan, our boats must be taken back to Georgetown and returned to the racks there. Depending on water, weather, and/or traffic conditions, this may take place immediately after the regatta or be postponed until the following day (Sunday). In general, rowers should check in with their coach and/or coxswain before leaving the regatta site.
