SINCE WE ARE COMMITTED TO ROWING OUT OF UNION COLLEGE: At this time we are now at 5 days a week for practice. Mon - Fri. 4:30pm-6pm at Union. Time frames are going to be very tight among the different teams rowing so prompt attendance to practice and prompt pick up of rowers is a neccessity for this relationship to work at Union. Guilderland Rowing starts at 3:30pm, SGRA starts at 4:30pm and Union starts at 5pm. We are ready to put our boats in the water at 4:30 so that we are out of the way for Union. Parking should start to done back in front of the pool area because all boat will be moved in and out of the boathouse. That parking area should be left clear for boats.

The best way to contact Coach Michael is by telephone: 845-926-6213 or TEXT MESSAGES. His email is ma999791@albany.edu, but he often doesn't check it during the day. If a rower will miss a practice, telephone or text is the best way to send the message.
