YAI - 2015 National Squad Yachting Association of India
The Selection Committee of the YAI has announced the National Squad for 2015. The National Squad will provide development opportunities for the selected athletes to refine their sailing abilities in the build-up towards the 2016 Olympic and 2018 Asian Games.
The primary focus of the National Squad is to ensure that there is a progressively increasing level of depth within the Indian team to ensure a sustainable future for the Indian sailors for years to come.
The National Squad is composed of 'A' and 'B' squads. The sailors in the 'A' squad are fully funded whilst the sailors in the 'B' squad are encouraged to participate in select overseas events. In the two years preceding the Junior World Cup, the focus is on an under 21 age group, while during the rest of the cycle, the National Junior Squad supports athletes at an under 23 age group. As such, in preparation for the 2016 Junior World Cup, athletes born in 1994 or later are eligible for selection in 2015, and athletes born in 1995 or later are eligible for selection for selection in 2016.
Athletes have been assessed across the past years National Championships, performance at overseas events, likelihood of maturing into a potential medal winner based on skills, commitment and ability as observed by the coaches including the National Coaching Camps held last year.
The list of National Squad is as follows:
