The program includes:

- A Freestyle Program focused on light wind sailing, sail handling, and fun tricks
- A Racing Program with multiple progressive levels
- Lesson plans and coaching notes
- Marking and evaluation sheets
- Stickers and achievement systems

- Fun awards and participation tools
- SUP program materials
- Diagrams and coaching references throughout
Special thanks as well to Chris Hope for contributions and development work on the racing program materials.
Reet is currently organizing the full collection of resources and determining the best way to make them available and easy to access for coaches, clubs, and participants.
