Guest Crews

PSRA Regattas are open to all Permanent and Associate members of the PSRA. Guest Crews are welcome to compete in three of the five Flick races but not the City Championships. A Guest Crew must:

  • Be a scholastic team with all its members from one school. Provide us with a roster signed by a principal or head of school saying all the rowers on your team attend the same school.
  • Provide the PSRA with waivers for each rower, a letter verifying swimming ability (see Swim Test Requirement), and compliance with Lightweight Protocols. Please click on this link to learn details of our Lightweight Protocol requirements.
  • Enter via Regatta Central and pay applicable fees.

For more details, please see the PSRA Rule Book download. PSRA rules may differ than those on your home course or in your association. For example, we do not allow doubling up of rowers.

Please note that at the Fifth Flick Regatta, all freshmen, novice and JV events that have over 12 entries will be run as time trials.

To compete as a Guest Crew, please send an email to phillyflicks@gmail.com or Leslife Pfeil at philasra@gmail.com.

 Guest Crews must have a chuckwagon pass in order to enter their chuckwagon into the venue. The fee for the pass is $50.

A PLACE TO SHELTER AND RELAX ON RACE DAY

Castle Ringstetten will be available for high school rowing teams to rent this spring during regattas. Ringstetten is owned by the Undine Barge Club. It is located at 4347 Kelly Drive, Philadelphia  only 1.4 miles up river from Temple and Gillin boathouses where the boat trailers park and near the launch and recovery docks.  The Castle has its own kitchen, large living/dining space, heating, men’s and women’s bathrooms, and ample free off-road parking.

Built in 1876, The Castle presents a picturesque and historic venue to keep your athletes dry, warm or cool during regattas. Parking is also free. Photos are available on request.
