2026 Spring Juniors Programming

Our spring season will run from March 9th through May 23rd, and will include AT LEAST three regattas. Practices run from 4:15 - 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9:00 - 12:00 a.m. on Saturday, out of the Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina. Friday's practice will be held from 4:15-6:30 p.m., but will be an optional practice for those who can make it. Practice begins at 4:15 - plan to arrive as early as 4:00 to ensure that we can begin smoothly at 4:15. The spring season is our championship season. Racing will be more intense, and we ask that our competitive athletes attend all practices and races to ensure they have the necessary skill, fitness, and experience to succeed later in the season.

Spring programming costs include:

Travel and registration expenses for racing
Practice costs such as gasoline and equipment upkeep
Membership dues
Coaching payroll

Regatta Schedule:

Percy Priest Sprints - March 28th - Hamilton Creek Recreation Area, Nashville, TN

The above regattas are confirmed on our schedule. However, we may add more regattas and single-day scrimmages to the schedule, depending on our assessment of the team's capability for back-to-back racing. Additionally, see below for information on Southeast Youth Championships, our regional championship and qualifier for the national championships in June.

Southeast Youth Championships - May 9th through 10th - Nathan Benderson Park, Sarasota, FL

Travel Thursday evening, practice on the course Friday, race Saturday and Sunday, return Sunday evening.

Due to the high costs of traveling to Sarasota, only select crews will be sent to race. These crews will be decided at the coaches' discretion over the course of the spring season. As such, the cost for attendance is not included in your registration costs. Athletes who are selected to attend will be asked to pay a separate fee to cover these costs. Payment must be received before athletes will be allowed to travel with the team. Crews that place in the top three in their event at SEYC will earn a bid to the Youth National Championships - this will also be a separate cost and charged later.
