Are you ready to take your high school sailors and team to the next level?
 
Welcome to the Christchurch School Open Preseason Training!

Come as a team, come as a coach, or come as an individual boat

Work with our on-the-water coaches, sports psychologist, and fitness trainers to not only up your game immediately but to plan your entire season training. 

Overview:
The intent is to focus on the segment of sailing where we have expertise and the proper equipment to serve a large number of sailors. This first summer will be a one week program for high school teams that don’t have the resources and coaching support that Christchurch has.

  • We will focus on high school/college style fleet and team racing
  • We will sail two sessions a day, 9:30-11:30 and 1-4
  • Evenings will be a classroom session with breakout groups
