JSA All Instructor Symposium
Wednesday, June 22
0830 to 1500
Larchmont Yacht Club, 1 Woodbine Ave, Larchmont NY 10538
Level 1 is Not Enough Training! Send your entire staff to this one-day jump-start. Each presentation is filled with practical, hands-on curriculum ideas. We have an excellent group of presenters to provide all JSA instructors with tools, tips, training and techniques to help them become better teachers, coaches and mentors to the junior sailors in your junior programs. Please save this date on your instructors’ training calendar. A program chair from each JSA member club is welcome to attend and observe, for free.
All instructors, head instructors and program directors should attend this symposium. It will help the instructing staff at all JSA programs to share a collective understanding of how to run effective sailing programs.
