Run the OutThere Program at your club

Give teenagers a reason to get on the water, connect with others and enjoy your club

The program encourages Centres to make use of the equipment they already have and provide a varied experience for both instructors and participants.

OutThere can incorporate a range of watercraft, including:

Keelboats
Dinghies
Stand Up Paddle Boards
Windsurfers
Powerboats

The emphasis is on socialisation, fun, adventure and getting out in nature, helping Centres create an inclusive environment where teenagers can enjoy sailing without the focus being on competition.

Why run OutThere Sailing at your Centre

Grow your younger club community

OutThere provides an opportunity to increase the involvement of younger generations within your club community.

It can also help Centres engage teenagers who may not be interested in traditional sporting programs or competitive sailing.

Create a different sailing experience

Give instructors the opportunity to teach sailing for the love of it, with the emphasis on fun, socialisation and exploration rather than competition.

The varied activities can also provide instructors with a different and enjoyable way to deliver sailing experiences.

Strengthen your club culture

OutThere creates opportunities for teenagers, families and the broader club community to connect.

Social activities such as an end-of-day BBQ can encourage parents and families to become involved and help build stronger connections within the club.
