After one year of Sports School, the child can join the Club Team. The Optimist competition team is an extension of the sports school. It is made up of young competitors from 10 to 15 years old who participate in events from regional to international level. The children discover the subtleties of this extremely complex sport and are integrated into a process of preparation and objectives that allows them to build a real sports project in collaboration with the coach. The calendar, established at the beginning of the season, sets the pace between training sessions, regattas, courses, special days... The supervision is ensured by coaches and instructors with a state diploma (BEES or BPJEPS). The courses include theoretical and technical contributions adapted to the medium and the level of the children. We are also very sensitive to the behaviour of the children (civic-mindedness, mutual respect and respect for the equipment...). Some periods of the season will be oriented towards training to prepare more specifically for the regattas.
