October 2026

Our goal is to share with families each month our accomplishments and what’s next. In September we were able to welcome new coaches & our novice squad, register our rowers, and implement a new Board. The Varsity squads also elected their team captains. Congratulations to Ida, Delphine for girls varsity, and Ravi & Kaden for boy’s varsity!

The squads have set their goals for the year and the novice rowers and families are on their way to
understanding why crew is such an amazing sport.

As our season gets underway, you can look forward to photos, coach and athlete highlights, and recaps on race results in the newsletter. We look forward to a great year!

Berkeley High Crew is excited to kick off the Fall Head Racing season. For many it will be your first regatta. Every month we will have a newsletter with important upcoming dates and info to help you navigate each month’s events.

For regattas, there are typically two “Heads Up!” emails from the Rowing Events & Race Day team sent out the whole team before each big event: One is at least a week in advance, with reminders, to-do lists, and general information AND One a few days beforehand, with all the links and late-notice need-to-knows: schedules, site maps, driving and parking directions, where to meet up with other families, how to track race results, etc. You can also expect an email from your coaches with boat line-ups, uniforms, and arrival times, and where to meet for each squad.

if you need to help preparing for race day, head to the “Red Book.” You will learn what to wear and bring, how to read a race day schedule or learn crew terminology in the glossary!

We need your help with Merch! We're looking for a Co-Lead plus volunteers to help run our merch table at regattas and events this season—think setting up, chatting with folks, running payments through Square, and helping decide what to order. No experience needed, just enthusiasm! Email Alexis if you'd like to join the team.
