Attached is a list of assignments and lineups. You will find your name either in a lineup or in a group labeled with your assignment.  We may need to adjust based on public no-shows, but this is our plan.

 

• Please, volunteers, be at the boathouse by 6:30 am to get everything set up before our 7 am start time

• At the bottom of this page, you'll find your individual assignment

​

​

​

 

Setup/ Cleanup: All volunteers will be setting and cleaning up ergs, launches, and rowing shells. 

 

Registration: Check-in New Rowers and Make sure lineups are good to go on the water. we have premade lineups but sometimes people no-show or those new visitors who want to add in. Volunteers will communicate lineup changes to on-land volunteers so they can help make necessary adjustments on the dock.

​

Erg Demo: Help Duke Demostrate and correct erg technique. Help usher new rowers off the balcony and down to the docks to be boated

 

Tour/Wrap up: Volunteer will talk to rowers after they complete their on-the-water session. Give information on youth and adult rowing programs. Give boathouse tour if necessary. Pitch fundraising opportunities on Give Butter.

 

Coach/Driver: will coach on the water session. Driver will help coach but mainly focus on where the boat is on the river and help coxswains navigate traffic. 

 

Rowing/Coxing/Launching/Recovering: Most youth rowers will be rowing and coxswaining. Adult rowers can switch in at any time they would like but if they are not rowing,  they will be helping launch and recover 8s. They will also be fill-ins in case there are no-shows.
