The turning starter......helps sailing clubs on site
As a club, do you want to take the first steps towards more inclusion of disadvantaged people and don't quite know how best to implement this in your club? We have many years of experience and can help.
Organising an introductory sailing day for a local special needs school, training for your youth coaches how to deal with physically disadvantaged people, designing inclusive training groups, purchasing inclusive boats or developing accessible jetties... We have already been able to successfully help with many of these issues. We discuss your club's needs in video conferences or telephone calls. We make a plan together. You as a club lead and we support. We are also happy to visit your club with our team to provide temporary support for your activities.
Particularly popular: introductory sailing on club boats
We receive many enquiries from clubs who want to organise introductory sailing sessions for disadvantaged people on club boats during a day or a weekend. Now the question arises as to how this can be organised. How and where can I make disadvantaged young people aware of the sailing opportunity? Which club boats are suitable? How do I regulate the exclusion of liability? What should club instructors know when sailing for the first time with people who have a physical or mental disability? We know the answers to most questions and are happy to pass this knowledge on to you. We provide support both during preparation and directly on site during your introductory sailing. The aim is to support your sailing club and your trainers so that you can subsequently organise inclusive sailing activities for people from disadvantaged groups as independently and regularly as possible.
Do you need support for your club with...
