Race Team Training
We offer weekend pratices for Opti and Laser youth sailors. We welcome everyone to be a part of the team. We have a coaching staff that helps our Junior sailors to achieve their goals, grow, and feel confident in their sailing abilities. There are 11 Regattas that our sailors have the opportunity to go to around Texas (6 local to DFW) throughout the year.
Check out our practice calendar here.

Junior Team Practice Coaching & Cost
Welcome to the Grapevine Junior Sailing Team!
At GCSEF, every practice is led by US Sailing certified instructors who combine years of on-the-water experience with a true passion for growing the next generation of sailors. Our coaches are dedicated to meeting each junior sailor where they are — whether they are just finding their sea legs or sharpening their racing skills — and creating an environment where learning is exciting, confidence grows naturally, and a love for the sport takes hold for life.
