Coach Registration Details

US Sailing appointed coaches provide a Dinner Debrief on Saturday night, specifically geared for junior sailing coaches and instructors. Fine-tune your instruction skills, bring new ideas back to your race team or sail camp. On the race courses, watch how elite sailing coaches work with junior sailors on and off the water. Participate in daily debriefs. Purchase a wristband to be included in all of our meals and receive a t-shirt. T-shirts are only available to coaches who register by June 20. Please note: It is not required for your team's coach to register for the Coaching Skill-Builder Clinic, each team is required to supply a safety boat with a supervising adult or coach on the race courses, and a "shore adult" in case of emergency. 

With a coach wristband, you will receive the following:

• Sweet T-Shirt! The Official Junior Olympic T-shirt, which is a long-sleeved, navy blue, tech shirt. 

• Awesome Food! Enjoy our Friday night reception on the pool deck, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.
