RS:X Open training 2014-15

2 September 2014

RS:X Open training program 2014/15

Run by the RS:X Class in association with the RYA

Purpose: To offer high quality RS:X coaching to those sailors making the transition from Techno or any other class to RS:X.

See http://www.rya.org.uk/racing/youthjunior/squads/transition/Pages/Selection.aspx

Three of the training sessions (specified) will be selection events for the Transitional Training Squad.

Following the squad selection there will be a further four open training weekends which will be open to those who did and those who did not qualify for the squad.

Further to the above the sessions are open to all RS:X sailors potential and current sailors who wish to participate in structured quality RS:X training.

Unfortunately due to changes in the supply chain of RS:X equipment the class no longer has access to demo kit, as it had in the past.

Sailors will be expected to behave in a manor suited to the selection process and any deviation will be noted when the selection process is made. Various policy documents can be found at http://ukwindsurfing.com/racing/poiicies-docs/

 Squad selection will be notified by the RYA and further documentation on the squad selection program is available at www.rya.org.uk

Those sailors wishing to be part of the RS:X National Squad and all those sailors wishing to be part of the RS:X Transitional Training Squad must apply via the RYA in the normal way.
