The RYA National Junior Squad programme supports around 170 of the most talented British sailors between 11 and 16 years of age. It offers the sailors access to a highly subsidised world class national training programme designed to help them go on to achieve international success in the future. The RYA employs a specific National Class Coach (in each class), who is directed and managed by the RYA Junior Racing Manager, to oversee the development of the sailors.

This is intended to inform sailors when deciding which Zone to apply for, and therefore which indicator series events to attend.
