US Sailing offers College Sailors new Special Membership
|
US Sailing, the national governing body of the sport, and the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) have partnered to develop a program that provides college sailors with an opportunity to become US Sailing members at a special discount rate. US Sailing’s College Pass, a division of US Sailing’s Golden Anchor Program, is a full membership designed to provide support for collegiate sailing in the United States.
College sailors can become US Sailing members at a discounted price by signing up for this special membership through their respective sailing team. By becoming a member, teams accumulate credits that can be used towards the purchase of US Sailing educational materials in the US Sailing store. This new membership creates a sponsorship fund used to promote and encourage collegiate sailing programs in the U.S. In return, the ICSA has created the US Sailing Grit Award for Competitive Perseverance that recognizes teams who fulfill the last regional qualifying spots for the ICSA National Championships.
'US Sailing is proud to promote collegiate sailing,' said Charlie Leighton, executive director of US Sailing. 'Sailing at this level is an outstanding training ground for competitive sailing in the U.S.'
'We look forward to this long term relationship with US Sailing,' said Mitch Brindley, president of the ICSA. 'The funding this program provides is instrumental to the growth of collegiate sailing. This is a great way to get college sailors involved in their national governing body.'
Check your local listings for the ICSA National Championships airing June 20 on ESPNU and produced by Gary Jobson, the next president of US Sailing.
US Sailing’s College Pass:
Youth Membership (21 and younger): $20/year
Adult Membership (Over 21, also includes certified instructors): $50/year
