Team15
Team15 (T15) is a nationwide network of windsurfing clubs where young people aged 15 and under can get together every week to learn new windsurfing skills and have a laugh with their mates. From first timer to relative expert, T15 clubs welcome all levels.
There are four registered T15 clubs across the East Midlands and most will run from April/May to end of September/October.
One of the most popular elements of T15 is the Inter-club Challenge events where teams of 15 sailors from clubs within each T15 Zone come together for a day of fun and racing. The competition caters for all abilities.
The main emphasis of the Inter-club Challenges is who will win the team trophy and qualify for the national final – the T15 Champions' Cup – which takes place in October.
Information about Team15 can be found at www.team15.org.uk
