Seed the growth of a new era – the US Youth Team.
The feedback and guidance have been clear – sailors, coaches, parents and programs want a clear, transparent and effective youth development system that we can all get behind. The US Youth Team features consistent training and competition schedules, transparent selection processes, and a simple goal – to reach our potential, as a TEAM.
“The Worlds is a life-changing and defining event for every athlete who earns their spot on Team USA. Our athletes need rich training environments and experienced coaching. Our goal is through hard work and your support to realize the potential of American sailors. Thank you for your support.”
– Phil Muller, US Sailing Youth Performance Manager
