Junior Club House

If the kids believe they have a special place all their own and especially if the kids believe the parents don't really have a good idea what is really going on there and if the kids would rather sail than be in the clubhouse but like to hang out in the clubhouse when not sailing and if the kids don't form cliques and cause new kids to go elsewhere...among other things..It can be really great.
 
Off the course instruction is very important. Having a junior clubhouse provides the instructor a structured environment to get all of the kids together at the begining and end of the day to explain what is going to be taught or review what happend on the water. Without a clubhouse it is more difficult to get the undivided attention of the students. It also provides the kids a place that they can go and not worry about being asked to go elsewhere.
 
well being 14 i can give experience, and i know this works well

in muskegon we have a junior sailing prgram ( im an apprentice instructor) and we'd have kids come and take lessons, but never see them out sailing, but then we set up some pingpong tables and foosball etc. and theyd come hangout and one of the instructors would encourage a sail and we'd all go out and have a blast with the kids playing sailing games and holding fun races....it really gets the younger kids into sailing and after a few days of this they would pressure us to go sail with them and it was just an amazing experience.....so from a firsthand experience.......ITS A GREAT IDEA
