| Improver training sessions for juniors and others |
|
This year we have planned more training sessions for improver sailors. The dates are in the training section of the website and the first one is this Saturday 22nd May. Last year our youth coordinator Clive Harries, with the support of our training officer Erica Caswell, Pete Robinson an RYA coach and others, organised several of these sessions to run on Saturday afternoons following the morning GYBE sessions for beginners. They were aimed at youth mainly but some adults joined in so we thought this year we would try to accommodate all ages this year. Please let Clive know if you would like to take part. There will be a limited number of club boats available with occasional additional Picos when Bewerly Park are able to lend us theirs. The use of these boats will rely heavily on sailors and parents of sailors helping to prepare them ready for sailing and helping pack them away. Having your own boat is the ideal of course and Clive was delighted to see so many youth getting boats last year.'
These sessions are aimed at both young people and adults who have done some sailing but wish to improve their skills and confidence levels. Support and tuition will be available with the aim of helping participants to become competent and confident, independent sailors. These sessions will be led by Peter Robinson, the Regional RYA Club Coach and supported by other club volunteers. |
