Registration & Fee Policy
Cost: $800 payable through the Mercy Crew registration on Regatta Central.
Completion of the above instructions is required to participate in practice. Completed registration forms and payment are necessary to establish the team roster, which is a requirement for Mercy Crew to secure and maintain insurance coverage for our rowers.
A $50 fee will be assessed to any returning rower’s account not paid in full at the Parents Meeting.
Any unpaid fees from a previous season disqualify returning members from participation until all payments in arrears are made.
