Canadian Junior Soaring Team at SOSA

The Canadian Junior Team has been announced for the 2006 flying season at SOSA. Its members are:

Jay Allardyce (Captain)
Sean Cappleman
Sean Coulton
Josh Esser
Chris Gough
Keith Hartley
Kyle Nordman
Adam Oke
Mike Tryggvason

The mentors for the junior team are Jerzy Szemplinski and Dave Springford.

The mandate of the SOSA Junior Team is to support advancement in soaring past the licensing stage and to foster the development of cross-country flying in youth. The team is planning to compete in a few competitions this year; namely SOSA’s Mudbowl, the Ontario Provincials, and plans to help out with logistics at the Nationals.

The team is currently seeking sponsors for the 2006 season. Funds raised will be used to support the team’s endeavours and development through subsidized tows and competition registration fees in 2006. The team would also like to work towards having an entry in the 2009 World Junior Soaring Championships (A first for Canada). To accomplish all that the team can this year and in subsequent years, we need your help. If you have a business or know of a business that is willing to support such a venture, please contact Jay at Jay@juniorpilots.ca. All donations are tax deductible and will go towards supporting enthusiastic youth in the community.

If you have questions about the SOSA Junior Team and its goals, please do not hesitate to speak with any of the aforementioned members.

Jay Allardyce
Team Captain
