Program Overview
The 2009 summer program will include five major components designed to
accommodate a wide range of ages (6-17), varying sailing skills and
abilities, and individual goals.
The following "kick-off" program options are available to
junior sailors:
- Opti Kids - Introduction to sailing for young beginners.
Program is designed to be the springboard for beginning sailors from
ages 6-8 to start their sailing careers. Young sailors generally up to
age 8 enroll in Opti Kids for two years prior to signing up for Junior
Week. Two classes are offered, one for first and one for
second year sailors.
- Junior Week - Various levels of instruction designed to
teach sailing to all juniors ages 7-17.
Junior Week is the club's centerpiece summer event. This large five-day
event for juniors ages 8 and up is dedicated to learning to sail,
making new friends and having a great time on and off the
water. Students, depending on their age and interests, are
placed in Beginning Opti, Intermediate Opti, or Advanced Racing. Other
Fleets include, Laser, Laser Radial, 420 and Group Sailing with
Mobjacks.
For the remainder of the summer, junior sailors may choose one
of the following options:
- Opti Development Team - Race coaching and training for
beginning racers, mostly in Optimist Green Fleet, including travel to
local regattas. This program is a great follow up to Junior Week,
a great introduction to taking racing skills to the next level, and
provides a glimpse of what the Race Team is all about without a
significant time and financial investment.
- Opti and Laser Race Teams - Intensive coaching, practice sessions, race
training and travel to local, regional and national regattas.
Team will practice six (6) days per week and or travel Chesapeake Bay / National Regatta Schedule.
