SIRR Athlete & Coach Induction

This athlete/coach/team managers induction has been designed to ensure all participants in the Sydney International Rowing Regatta have an understanding of the rules and policies around the regatta. It is designed to complement the on-site briefings which will still be held on Sunday (as per Bulletin #2). The three options available to clubs and schools are: a) All competitors and coaches complete the online induction prior to the collection of accreditation passes (accreditation will not be distributed until all athletes/coaches have completed this. b) Clubs attend the briefing at the venue on Sunday – again, accreditations will not be distributed until after the briefing, and only to those clubs/schools in attendance. c) Clubs can complete the online induction and also attend the briefing.
