from Stevie Olk ’21, MPA Sailing Team Captain
Fall sports have begun! Of course, you have all the normal sports to choose from, but here at MPA students in grades 7-12 also have something different—sailing. Did you know that we have been one of the top teams in the state recently? Did you know that we race locally, regionally, and nationally? Did you know that sailing is a co-ed sport?
If you are looking for a sport that has life-long potential and is tons of fun, come join the MPA Sailing Team. You do not have to know how to sail—we will teach you everything you need to know to be part of our team.
Sailing is a two-season sport. You can sail in the fall or the spring or both. Practices are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at White Bear Sailing School (carpools are arranged) and races are on Saturdays at various locations. Practices and races are loose, so if you cannot make one, it’s okay. If you don’t want to commit right away, come and try out three practices for free. We start September 3, but feel free to try out a practice whenever it is convenient for you–it’s not imperative that you start right as the season begins.
If you have questions or want more information talk to team captain Stevie Olk or team advisor Natalie Waters Seum. Team registration can be found at www.whitebearsailingschool.com.
