Last year, in conjunction with the Victorian Institute of Sports and the Victorian Laser Association, a program was developed to assist youth sailors striving to improve on their results at major national and international regattas – Sandringham Yacht Club’s High Performance Program. It has been quite evident that to perform well at major events around January, that the training must start a lot earlier than just at the start of the sailing season in October.
Throughout out the year it is intended to hold approximately 80 on water sessions. The majority of these will be mid week with a normal format of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (4:30-7:00pm). The structure and intensity this program is like no other in Victoria.
Program Coaches;
Michah Shuwalow, Johnny Rodgers, Oli Tweddell, Jeremy O’Connell
