Getting Started: Creating an Account 1 An account needs to be created to register rowers for the programs as well as access specific content. At the top of the webpage locate the Register button. 2 An account should be set up by the parent or guardian (over 18 years of age). This user can then add a secondary user and participants (rowers) to their account. User names can be email addresses for ease of remembering. If you do forget your account name, contact SCC_membership@yahoo.com who can look up accounts, merge accounts and re-set passwords. 3 Accounts MUST be set up under the parent or guardian s name. The rower will be the participant added in the next step. Do not allow your child to set up the account under their name as the waivers all need to be accepted by the parent or guardian (over age 18). Be sure to enter the proper contact information and any secondary email addresses to ensure coaches can contact families.
