Terms & Policies

(as of February 2023)

 

Registration Fees

The participation fees for Manhasset Crew are assessed separately for each season (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer) and will vary from season to season based on regatta schedules and the number of participants. 

Each season Manhasset Crew assesses one Registration/Equipment Fee (see bullet 1 below).  The season registration fee DOES NOT include regatta fees.  

The fee must be paid in full before the season commences (via the Manhassetcrew.org website).   Otherwise, any athlete attending practice will not be allowed to participate in any activities (including practice) until the fee is paid.   

Additionally, each core season (Fall & Spring, possibly Summer) will have scheduled regattas that have a separate Regatta Fee  (see bullet 2 below).   Regatta fees must be paid in full (via the Manhassetcrew.org website) 1 day before travel/departure for the scheduled regatta or incur a late fee.

  1. Registration/Equipment Fees: These fees are assessed to cover the season’s operating costs, including the cost of equipment and facilities maintenance and repair, equipment replacement, rental of boathouse space, coaches’ salaries, utilities, vehicles, and insurance to name a few. The amount of each season’s Registration/Equipment Fees is determined by dividing the total cost of all registration/equipment expenses with an estimated number of participating rowers/coxswains.  Each athlete is assessed the same amount. 

 

  1. Regatta Fees: These fees are assessed to cover regatta-specific costs for the season which includes (for example) transportation (for athletes and boat transport), hotel, food, and regatta registration costs. The amount of each season’s Regatta Fees is determined by dividing the total cost of all regatta expenses by the number of participating rowers/coxswains. Each athlete is assessed the same amount.   

Cancellation Policy

Space is limited and we have a significant amount of overhead expenses to cover.   As such, we have a very strict cancellation policy.

For Registration Fees

A refund if requested (less 20% administrative fees for processing payment) will only be issued the first 3 days after the start (i.e. first day) of the season.   

There will be NO refunds after this period unless there is a medical reason.   If so, a note from the child’s physician must be provided to the Director (and emailed to mgmt@manhassetcrew.org).    Any medical refund requests will be reviewed on an individual basis.   At a minimum we would prorate any refund for overhead expenses , administrative fees and the point at which the request is made.

For Regatta Fees

Any child that must withdraw from a regatta within 7 business days prior to departure/travel date will still be accountable for the regatta fees.   There will be no other exceptions as hotel accommodations (if applicable), food, regatta fees, travel (bus)  have been paid. 

Any athlete that must withdraw must notify their respective coaches and director immediately (and emailed to mgmt@manhassetcrew.org).

Any questions regarding this policy can be emailed to “mgmt@manhassetcrew.org”
