Parents and guardians of Row New York’s newest middle school rowers gathered this week for our twice-yearly parents’ night. Coaches Nate, Clara, and Tom joined Academic Director Darise in briefing parents on Row New York’s mission, philosophy, and training schedule. With our Long Island City office playing host, the parents viewed Row New York’s public service announcement video, met the staff, and learned all about their daughters’ new team.
Our parents’ night is held to give parents relevant information regarding their daughters’ experience in our program. Our staff explains logistics, states our goals, describes how we reach those goals, and sets expectations for rowers’ and parents’ involvement. With our parents fired up and committed, they become partners in our efforts. With the structure they provide at home and the structure Row New York provides after school, we set our rowers on the path to athletic and academic achievement.
We were pleased to host parents this week. Good luck to their daughters!
