LMVYC Junior Sailing Team

Since 2008, the Junior Sailing Team has shaped young sailors into skilled competitors and passionate lifelong sailors. Our mission is simple: to make competitive sailing fun, develop advanced sailing skills, and foster a deep love for the sport.​​

Why Join the Junior Sailing Team?

  • Compete & Grow: Develop your sailing skills and build confidence in a fun, supportive, and encouraging environment.
     

  • Sail the Course: Gain valuable racing experience and test your abilities in regattas on the lake and at some of Southern California's most beautiful harbors.

​

  • Forge Lifelong Friendships: Join a tight-knit team of passionate young sailors and create memories that will last a lifetime.
     

  • Exclusive Access to Equipment: Train and compete using our impressive fleet, including Sabots, Lasers, CFJs, and a Twichell 12.

Who Can Join?

We welcome children aged 9 to 16 with basic sailing skills. Due to limited team spots, priority is given to those with prior experience. All participants must know how to swim, and Lake Mission Viejo Association membership is required.

Sailing Team Practice

Our season runs from March through November, with practices held twice a week from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM. We understand that schedules can be busy, so we offer flexibility in practice days to accommodate our sailors.

Regatta Opportunities

Our juniors participate in numerous off-the-lake regattas at local Southern California harbors. These events provide an incredible opportunity to compete against other talented young sailors, build camaraderie, and gain invaluable race experience. From one-day regattas to challenging championship series, our team members develop confidence, sportsmanship, and a passion for sailing that will stay with them forever.
