Youth & Junior Training
Junior Training
As a recognised RYA Training Centre, we follow the RYA junior programme, starting with the beginners at Stage 1, moving through Stages 2, 3 & 4. We then offer additional qualifications such as RYA start racing. Details of the content of the RYA courses can be found on the RYA website. We run these courses during the season and members are able to book these through the club.
Check our schedule below for this years courses.
Race Coaching
We run a weekly Thursday evening race coaching session for all of our junior sailors who have achieved at least their RYA Stage 2. The sessions take place in Toppers and include race coaching as well as general development and the opportunity to sail with others of all abilities.
Double Handed Coaching
These sessions are arranged on a selection of Sunday mornings during the season. Club Feva sailing dinghies are used to develop junior sailing skills in double handed boats. This is available to all junior sailors with at least RYA Stage 2 with the aim of encouraging juniors to join in with the Club LLSC races which take place on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
Check our calendar for this year's dates.
Instructor Courses
During the year we usually arrange both an RYA Assistant Instructor course and an RYA Dinghy Instructor course. This is available to suitably competent sailors who will be selected by our Chief Instructor. Please let us know if you would like to be considered for this.
