TCY Team Apparel - CLOSES TOMORROW 6/23!
Our team apparel stores will be open until 11:59 PM on Monday, June 23! Several times per year we open our merchandise stores for athletes and families.
Middle School rowers: all merchandise is optional.
All varsity and novice rowers: We encourage all rowers to have a t-shirt, sweatpants, and sweatshirt (from the General Sports Store). This is the TCY travel uniform when we go to regattas.
Novice rowers: A racing tank is provided, and you can choose to purchase the trou (shorts) from the Boathouse store.
Varsity rowers:
Varsity Girls: Most of the varsity rowers on the girls team have chosen to order a uni, which is available in the Boathouse store. If a rower is currently a varsity rower, or is finishing their novice year (first year), this would be the time to order your uni, as we must meet minimums and cannot guarantee that we will be able to hit the minimum number required for the order to be fulfilled in the future. (If your athlete is not comfortable in a uni, a racing tank is fine to order instead.)
Varsity Boys: Will need a rowing tank from the Boathouse store. Unis are optional.
Boathouse Store (official team racing merchandise, minimums required for all merch other than trou, which has no minimum)
General Sports Store (no minimums required, this is more commonly ordered merch for families and loungewear for athletes)
Both stores close tomorrow Monday, June 23 at 11:59 PM.
Summer Regattas
We hope you can join us for our summer regattas. These regattas will be open to all novice and varsity rowers.

This regatta takes place in the Lincoln Park community of Chicago. Registration for this regatta is not yet open on the TCYRC website, but we are confirmed to attend.
The rowers will travel to Chicago on Friday, July 11 via coach bus, and racing will take place on Saturday and Sunday. The coach bus will return home on Sunday evening.
Families who are planning to attend are invited to book a room at the team hotel: Fairfield Inn, Magnificent Mile.
Midwest Summer Sprints (Zanesville, OH) - August 3
TCYRC registration is not yet open for this regatta.
This one-day regatta takes place outside of Columbus, Ohio. Last year was our first year attending and we had so much fun we decided to come back again this year!
Athletes attending will need to fly (or drive) to Columbus. Coaches/chaperones will help with athlete travel from the Columbus airport to Zanesville and the regatta.
Suggested flights will be shared soon!
Families attending will need their own transportation (a car will be needed to get to Zanesville and the race course).
Families who would like to attend can book their own room at the team hotel - Hampton Inn Zanesville.
