CANADIAN SAILING YOUTH SQUAD 

Athletes selected from the regional and national talent ID camps will be invited to the Canadian Sailing Youth Squad (CSYS) trials camp at which the CSYS will be selected.

Athletes that are selected to the CSYS will be given access to enhanced development opportunities along with priority selection to the Identified Athlete Program (IAP). Enhanced development opportunities may include but are not limited to; access to select training opportunities with the Canadian Sailing Development Squad, national coaching at selected regattas, yearly training plan consultation with Sail Canada technical staff and will work with the Sail Canada technical staff on developing their racing skills within their regional and local training environment. Athletes qualify for the CSYS at the annual Canadian Sailing Youth Squad Trials Camp which takes place each January. In order to receive an invitation to the CSYS Trials Camp Athletes must attend a regional or national Talent ID camp and receive a nomination from the Sail Canada High Performance Director on recommendation of the Sail Canada representative overseeing the Talent ID camp. Sailors who make the Sail Canada Youth Worlds Team will be automatically named to the CSYS.
