Case Crew Parent's Page

New to the sport of rowing and have some questions? Want to know what your fellow parents are up to during the racing season? Need information about out of town races, where to eat, where to stay, where to gather? The Spartan Alumni Rowing Association (S.A.R.A.) functions as a "booster club" for Case Crew and is here to help you connect with your children and other parents.

S.A.R.A. is currently seeking a Parent's Committee Chairperson. The major responsibilities as chairperson are to be able to answer some of the above questions for other parents and to serve as a point of contact for other parents (information sharing).

Parents play a crucial role in making a regatta a success for the athletes and to get other parents there to cheere your kids on. Case Crew travels all over the Midwest and East Coast for regattas, and SARA is trying to facilitate a more organized approach to supporting the team.

If you are interested in helping coordinate the Case Crew Parents or if you have any questions please email Doug Rathburn.
