McQuaid Jesuit Crew Team Registration

Stack Team App

The team uses the Stack Team App in order to communicate within a private group.  Once you download the app, you can search for McQuaid Jesuit Crew and request admission to the group. Once an administrator has approved your request, you will be able to access the calendar, updates, forms, etc.  Both the parent/guardian of the athlete as well as the athlete need to join the group.

Registration & Dues

Registration is completed through Regatta Central and dues are also collected during this process. The dues for the 2026 Fall season will remain at $700 per athlete.  If your family is in need of financial assistance, you may contact the McQuaid Jesuit Athletic Director, Mr. Bobby Bates.

Sports Clearance

McQuaid Jesuit uses a third party in order to clear athletes for participation in sports.  The sports triplicate forms have been phased out and all clearance now occurs through Arbiter online.  You will need to create an account and upload a current physical form in order to complete the process.

USRowing Membership & Waiver

USRowing membership and a completed SafeSport Waiver is required for each athlete.  Membership dues for USRowing are about $25 annually.  Search for McQuaid Jesuit Crew and you will need to input the team's Club Code which is HYA7B to complete the process.

Code of Conduct Form

A signed and dated Code of Conduct form is required for participation on the crew team.  Both the athlete and a parent/guardian need to complete this form.  Once completed, you can scan the signed document and turn it in via email at mcquaidcrew@gmail.com or your athlete can turn it in to the coaching staff at practice, or it can be completed at the mandatory parent's meeting.

McQuaid Crew Waiver

A signed and dated Waiver form is required for participation on the crew team.  A parent/guardian will need to complete this form if the athlete is under 18 years of age.  Once completed, you can scan the signed document and turn it in via email at mcquaidcrew@gmail.com or your athlete can turn it in to the coaching staff at practice, or it can be completed at the mandatory parent's meeting.

FoSC Rowing Acknowledgement

A signed and dated Friends of Scholastic Crew Rowing Acknowledgement form is required for participation on the crew team.  Both the athlete and their parent/guardian will need to complete this form.  Once completed, you can scan the signed document and turn it in via email at mcquaidcrew@gmail.com or your athlete can turn it in to the coaching staff at practice, or it can be completed at the mandatory parent's meeting.

Swim Testing

All rowers and coxswains need to complete a swim test with a certified lifeguard.  The team will set up a date at the YMCA to complete this testing which will be announced in the Stack Team App.  Makeup testing can also be arranged independently with the YMCA for a small fee.

Additional Information:

  • The team will participate in several regattas this season, some home and some away.  More information can be found here. Regattas outside of Rochester will incur transportation and hotel costs for each family in addition to the dues for the season.

  • Regattas are full-day events, frequently running somewhere within the bounds of 6:00 am - 6:00 pm.  The report time will be announced once the heat sheets have been finalized, usually 2-3 days before a regatta.  Athletes must remain at the regatta for the entire time to support all members of the team as well as to unload the trailer, rig the boats, de-rig the boats, and load the trailer up again.

  • At regattas, the team coordinates a hospitality tent which is where families gather between watching races.  Breakfast is frequently arranged and lunch is always served along with healthy snacks and beverages for the athletes and their families.  All families will be expected to participate in some fashion and a sign-up will go out in the Stack Team App with details about the different roles a family might select to fulfill their hospitality obligation.  Some jobs include tent set up, towing the hospitality trailer, shopping/prepping/cooking a meal, bringing beverages or ice, etc.

  • ​Novices will receive a uniform T-Shirt which is covered by team dues.  Varsity rowers will need to purchase their own uni, which costs around $100.  This uniform is not covered by team dues.  All athletes need to obtain a long sleeved solid black athletic shirt to wear under their uniform during cold races, and many athletes also use a long pair of solid black trou to wear under their uniform.

  • Athletes will need to provide their own clothing to wear to practice, including outerwear.  A pair of rain pants and a rain coat really go a long way to keep the athletes warm, dry and comfortable.
