OYC

Our TEAM
We believe that our instructors are most successful when they are passionate about the material and understand how proactive planning achieves desired results.  Goals setting is a critical component in their training to deliver success for our students in a safe and fun environment.

It's not about our impact on our students, it's about the impact our students will make.

This year we have elected to have a single visiting instructor that will work with our students and staff as we build an uncompromising curriculum focused on winning.
  • Consistent messaging in instruction and coaching
  • Program scheduling to promote season long racing education 
  • Early introduction of helm and trimmer crew to racing using the Optimist as a trainer
  • Weekly assessment to address lesson planning that is customized to individual teams
  • One-on-one training events with each of our individual X Boat teams
  • Individual team website portal that tracks improvement and areas for betterment

The 2018 season will focus on consistency with an early introduction to racing to quickly advance our athletes into winning programs for years to come.
