Job Description

SDYC proudly maintains one of the most prestigious Junior Sailing Programs on the West Coast, training with hundreds of youth sailors throughout the year. Our program operates out of a world class waterfront facility with a full-time equipment maintenance staff, over 80 club-owned boats, and large privately owned fleets.

Our Summer Program will begin with a staff training session June 12th – 16th, and end August 11th totaling eight weeks of coaching instruction. While our program would allow for flexibility regarding start dates, coaches must be able to commit to at least 6 weeks of the summer. Classes meet Monday- Friday, 8:30am to Noon and 1pm to 4:30pm, with some additional travel days to regional events. In the AM, we hold our introductory level courses in CFJs and Naples Sabots. Our afternoon program offerings include learn-to-race classes, Adventure Sailing (non-racing), and advanced racing in Sabots, Lasers, C420s, CFJs, 29ers, and J22’s.

San Diego has a vibrant sailing community with plenty of opportunities for coaches to continue racing while they are coaching during the summer and interact with club members. There are seemly endless opportunities to enhance your personal sailing career while enjoying the summer in sunny San Diego!
