RYA West Midlands has a very active and experienced coaching team, which travels around the Midlands area to clubs etc to provide both basic instruction and high level coaching in the sport of dinghy sailing.

The team is made up of Coach Assessors and experienced Senior Instructors.

The region runs or organises several Dinghy Instructor courses around the region each year, as well as running at least one Senior Instructor course.

We are available to visit clubs to provide training or merely advice, all year round.

As a region we are extremely active with Dinghy Instructor, Senior Instructor and Coaching Courses. If you have ambitions to become an instructor then please contact us. We are able to visit you at your club to discuss the options and availability on our courses which are run at varying clubs across the West Midlands.

Are you coming to the Regional Instructor Conference? Check out the Conference information on the link to the left. This will be an ideal time for you to discuss Senior Instructor ambitions. Those of you who are non instructors then please get in touch.
