With most clubs officially opening for the summer sailing season, now is the time to finalise preparing your programs to deliver great experiences on the water! 

Delivering specific club training to your instructors, coaches & program volunteers as part of these final preparations is key. It is also timely to communicate with participants and their stakeholders (parents/carers) about your club and what they can expect so everyone can enjoy their summer on the water.  

Australian Sailing has developed a host of resources specifically for clubs to assist in finalising all key areas of preparation which can all be found on the Participation hub webpage.  

Right now, just ahead of delivering your programs it is the time to; 

• Provide club delivered Coach/Instructor Induction training 

• Update position descriptions  

• Use this quick win guide to develop your coach / instructor team. 

• Guide and support volunteers in their roles of program delivery  

Plus use the available templates and have communications ready to provide to participants and/or their stakeholders: 

• Handbook for Participants & Parents 

• Parent Information sessions to guide parents about your programs. 

For further information to assist your club with preparation please see the host of articles on the participation news feed via this link.
