The Burton SC Youth Academy was launched in 2013, to provide an opportunity for the youngsters in the club to further develop their racing skills. The academy is open to anyone with sailing experience and aged from 10 to 16 years old. The academy is being managed by Des Luxton, who is being supported by Danny Ramsden – Senior Youth Coach. A team of coaching staff have volunteered to assist with the coaching together with support from the RYA National Race Coaching Team and the Volvo Champion national race squad. In 2013, the Youth Academy became a great social for kids and parents alike, and the team are looking to expand on last year's success this year, with events aways and more training tailored to introduce young sailors to the wider world of sailing,including fleet, team, match racing.
