Communications

Forms of Communication

Communication among TRC, coaches, guardians, and athletes (and varied combinations of these entities) is performed using a variety of methods.  

Our website is the primary source of information.  This is where we document all our programs, practices, policies, expectations, and requirements.  Please visit and review the content on the website on a regular basis to keep abreast of all things TRC.

Triangle Rowing Club sends Newsletters on a regular basis.  These are one of the primary methods we use to disseminate information to members about upcoming events and club activities.  

If you are not already receiving the TRC Newsletter in your email inbox, please send a note to wwhite@trianglerowing.org.

You can access the latest Newsletter (and past editions too) by selecting the TRC Newsletters heading above.

TRC registration and associated tasks are managed in the SportsEngine platform.  A legal guardian must create and complete a profile for each athlete within SportsEngine as part of joining TRC. Both adults and athletes must complete specific sections within the Registration process to register for each season or program. 

TRC’s SportsEngine system enforces the submission of athlete electronic health records, including a medical practitioner's approval of fitness for the activity, and other agreements (swim ability, media release, etc.). These must be completed before an athlete is eligible to participate in TRC activities.

  • Email Messages

The primary means of communication between coaches and athletes and coaches and families is via email.  High school athletes and adults must provide and maintain accurate email addresses and phone numbers in their SportsEngine profiles to consistently receive TRC communications. 

NOTE: To keep communications clear and efficient, TRC advises against using an adult’s email address as a high school athlete’s email during the registration process and in the high school athlete's profile.

  • GroupMe (or another group chat platform)

Coaches may choose to use a group chat platform to facilitate communications among high school team members.
