The Junior Surf Programme is an integral part of surf club activity. It is the future face and training ground for lifeguards. Children between 7-13 years participate in organised activity that ensures they are educated in surf safety as well as confident to undertake training for their Surf Lifeguard award at age 14.
Strategic Objectives
- Encourage children to participate in and enjoy surfing and surf lifesaving activity
- Assist children to develop and improve their surfing and surf lifesaving knowledge and skills
- Improve the self image of children by developing self-confidence and social interaction skills
- Involve parents and interested members of the community as leaders, coaches and administrators
Northern Region clubs conduct their Junior Surf activities every Sunday morning for two-three hours between the months of October and March. Members participate in Intra-club, Inter-club, District and Inter-District Competitions.
Junior Surf is designed to provide an educational experience in a wide range of subjects and skills within the aquatic/marine environment. The programme also aids in the preparation of junior members for eventual transition into the lifeguarding and sporting aspects of our organisation.
