US Sailing siebel sailors program at ACSC

MISSION: To increase opportunity and promote diversity in the sport of sailing.


VISION: The Siebel Sailors program aims to bridge the participation gap among 10-14 year olds, a group that tends to leave sailing, and to encourage participation among populations and demographics that are under-represented in the sport generally.  The program will do this by emphasizing positive, 21st-century coaching techniques, providing a diverse and dynamic youth sports experience, and developing the skills needed to continue lifelong participation in the sport.


VALUES:
  • Fun: We are free to find our own enjoyment and play within a supportive community.
  • Respect: We grow appreciation and responsibility for ourselves, our team, and the sailing environment.
  • Effort: We do our best every day.
  • Voice: We speak up and collaborate with each other to shape our own learning and sailing experiences.  
  • Inclusiveness: We support an inclusive community with diverse activities that encourages everyone to participate.  


What makes Siebel different?  If it can be for any skill level and its offered at a variety of Centers, what is the common thread across the program?
  • The Siebel Sailors Program is a program that Centers participate in.  Its designed to shift the discipline and culture of both youth sailing and coaching at partner centers
  • US Sailing provides tools, support and resources to Centers to assist the culture shift (fleet of Feva’s, regionally allocated powerboat, national level coach, standardized curricula, skill tracking tools)
  • Target demographic is 10-14 year olds and communities under-represented in the sport
  • Regional coaches work within a single program offering at centers for Year 1 and steadily expand the “culture” to additional program offerings in Year 2.  By Year 3, Centers have adopted the “culture” across all program offerings.
  • Centers’ can have the Regional Coach work within any skill level or program offering initially; Centers decide what is best for them.
  • The shift in culture is focused around a de-emphasis on specialization (i.e. dinghy racing) and a re-emphasizing of the skills needed to “play for life,” including social skills and life skills as well as sailing skills
