In a bid to boost Development for the sport of Sailing, ASAF in association with World Sailing, decided to conduct Sessions every Tuesday on the Development of Sailing.
The first session of the series was held on Tuesday 28th April'20, on the topic of 'Creating Access', by Mr. Rob Holden (Training Development Manager), World Sailing and Dr. Malav Shroff, President ASAF.
The aim Dr Shroff said, is 'to find a way to grow the sport of sailing in Asia and to prevent youth from leaving the Sport'
The Webinar delved upon how the sport can be evolved from the grassroots, by creating programs in clubs, schools or centers, Importance of having Goals and Plans and Creating Access through Financial Models, Markets, Facilities, Staff and Equipment.
There was a Q&A round at the end.
The session saw encouraging participation across MNAs and was very well received.
The second webinar will be held on 5th May (Tuesday) on the topic of 'Retaining Sailors in the Sport'.
