The role of the Tasman Coastal Rowing Club is to promote a fun and friendly rowing environment whilst maintaining opportunities for all rowers to participate in the sport. We do this by encouraging an appreciation for teamwork, discipline, friendship and support to all members.

This code of conduct applies to all Tasman Coastal Members, and encouraged for all support people, parents involved in the club.

The code outlines your rights and responsibilities, whatever your role or ability. Rowing is a team sport which requires everyone (rowers, coaches, parents, volunteers) to focus on their conduct and does not inhibit the enjoyment of the sport for yourself or others, or bring the Club into disrepute.
