Description
The Treasure Island Sailing Center's (TISC) Junior Sailing Program is designed to enable young sailors to move at their own pace as they progress from novice to advanced sailors in a variety of one-design sail boats. We offer a wide range of Summer, Fall, and Spring class options. TISC's progressive curriculum is designed to give all of our sailors a developmentally appropriate understanding of sailing fundamentals, water safety, knot tying, nautical terminology, boat handling, and race theory. In addition to teaching students to sail confidently and independently, TISC's Junior Sailing Program encourages the development of teamwork, respect, leadership and communication. Our Junior Sailing classes are taught by certified instructors and professional coaches who use a blend of on-shore and on-the-water activities to create an environment that is safe, educational and fun!
