Junior Programme Overview

RYA Courses

Junior Week

Our exciting Junior week 2025 will be held from the 20 ^th to the 25^th August. This year we will be combining all our Junior/Youth sailors into one week! Because of this it means the sailors will hopefully (weather permitting) get 6 days on the water. Within the week we will be running an Oppie race series as well as a youth series to include Toppers, Lasers and Fevas. For the non-racers we will have lots of fun sailing activities and challenges.

See our Junior Week page for details.

Oppie & Topper Club

These sessions are a mix of training whilst having fun with friends. We will have two different groups.

Group 1: With a focus on experience building. For children that have passed their Stage 1 minimum.

Group 2: With a focus on race coaching. For those children that are looking to take the next step.

Each session we will focus on a different thing so please come along to all sessions if possible. Click here for more information and to book.

After School Sailing for Local Children

Term time After School Sailing for West Wittering school pupils will be available in the summer term from the 17th - 19th June and 1st - 3rd July. The aim of these sessions is to introduce children attending our village school to sailing and encourage local families to get involved in sailing at WWSC, hopefully ultimately becoming active members of the club. Parents of children at the school will be able to apply via the school.

Junior Race Series

This year we will be holding our Junior Race Week from 27th 30th May. This includes race coaching for Toppers, Oppies, Lasers and RS Fevas and is a chance for experienced junior sailors to further develop their racing skills.
