Who: Junior Sailors in 7th - 12th grades
HS Sailing is open to young people from the 7th to 12th grades who reside and would attend school in Calvert County. Students are eligible whether public, private, or home schooled. Students from out of Calvert County can always participate in the coaching and practices – competition may be limited based on the rules of the sailing association that governs our competitions.
Our teams belong to the Maryland Interscholastic Sailing Association (MDISA) and compete in weekend regattas with other HS teams from our league. The league stretches from the Upper Bay to the Eastern Shore to Southern Maryland and is populated with over 25 different sailing teams. The national organization is the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA) and governs our participation in sailing regattas. There are regional and national competition events run by ISSA. More information on those organizations is available at www.issa.org.
Regattas are exciting opportunities to put your expertise to work! Coaches will work out who goes where based on our progress and prowess. Due to a more limited number of entry-level Regattas in the League, first year sailors may not sail in the formal regattas – but don’t worry, there will be plenty of practice racing to hone your skills!
