Communication:
The coaching staff is committed to keeping an open line of communication with the student/athletes and their parents or legal guardian. We will do our best to address any concern or questions promptly through the correct means of communication. Please note that different types of communication are best for different situations. Mass communications and group information will most often be disseminated via email. Individual concerns and questions (even if they may concern the group) are best discussed over the phone or in person.
Often, concerns can be easily addressed via phone first. Should calling not solve the issue, pre-arranged meetings or conferences are often the best way to handle concerns. This allows parents and coaches to sit down, read the situation correctly, receive feedback, and to solve issues conclusively. Please schedule meetings or conferences ahead of time to avoid any conflicts with practice or other projects. Email should be avoided for any issue that may be contentious.

Practice and Regattas
Please keep in mind that DRYC is not equipped or staffed to supervise students once practice has ended. Please be prompt in picking up your child as soon as their class has ended.
At practice and events, sailors are expected to treat equipment with the utmost care. No sailor will be allowed to leave practice or a regatta before all equipment, including that used by their teammates, is put away in its proper place. While traveling to other venues, sailors are responsible for leaving borrowed equipment in a state better than it was found. If sailors need to leave a practice or regatta early and cannot fulfill the aforementioned responsibilities, they must provide advanced warning and request the help of their teammates in fulfilling their responsibilities.
Trailering
The coaching staff is responsible for the coordination of towing sailboats to events. The team may use class time to load boats onto the trailer. Trailer space will be provided on a first come, first serve basis.
