Stockton Sailing Club

Membership
The Stockton Sailing Club Junior sailing program is an opportunity for young sailors that would like to spend more time on the water. The Program is to develop knowledgeable youth sailors and to plant the seed in them for the love of the sport of sailing which will serve as a foundation for the future of our Club.

Events are scheduled throughout the year for sailors of all ability levels including keelboat clinics, special racing clinics and a after-school racing program. Members of the Junior Program have access to the Junior Boat Fleet of Optimists, El Torres, Flying Juniors and Lasers.  A full program of learning, racing or day sailing has led to the Stockton Sailing Club Junior Program’s success and serves to reinforce the members’ dedication to the principle and tradition of yachting.

Junior memberships are for ages 8-21 (or up to 24 if they are still in school / college) and are renewable annually. Please visit our membership page for additional information on the membership application process.

Junior Program Mission
Whether it be across the San Joaquin River or across the San Francisco Bay, Stockton Sailing Club sailors participate in sailing and racing events throughout the year. SSC has made a commitment to the Junior Program and has successfully recruited Coaches of highest level. Instructors and coaches are certified by the United States Sailing Association (US Sailing) complete with CPR and First Aid Certificates.

Commitment
This means setting goals and taking responsibility.  For example, you have to show up on time at the race training and races.  They are not going to wait for you.

Dedication
The Stockton Sailing Club Junior program is run by volunteers, so the availability of activities is largely dependent upon the ability of parents and other volunteers to help.  Volunteer opportunities include helping with Food or BBQs at events, assisting in safety boats and on the docks, participating in planning meetings to coordinate events, and driving and towing boats to events in the Bay Area.
