Issue date
Clubs and class associations keen to host this season's Aon Regional Youth Clinics are encouraged to get applications in by October 8.
The Aon Regional Youth Clinics are crucial events as talented young sailors progress through the high performance pathways. Yachting New Zealand will run clinics in the regions around New Zealand where the club/classes meet these requirements:
- A minimum of three youth boats per class training regularly
- Sailors are training with the aim of attending Aon National Youth Clinics, class national championships and NZL Sailing Foundation Youth Team nomination regattas
- The regular club coach is available to attend every clinic
- The club can provide a RIB and cover the cost of fuel for coaches
- Arrangements are made to billet the Yachting New Zealand coach
Applications for the 2018/19 season must be lodged with Yachting New Zealand youth co-ordinator Stu Thomas (stuart@yachtingnz.org.nz) by October 8. Where possible, it would be advantageous to have more than one class at each clinic to help grow the youth community in the regions.
Applications should include:
- Club
- Club contact and contact details
- Classes
- Requested dates
- Names of sailors in each class who might attend
- Name of club coach
For more information, contact Yachting New Zealand youth co-ordinator Stu Thomas.
