Junior Activities

JAG Report February 2012

Starting from the most recents activity, this past weekend of Feb 18th &19th had the U14's & U13's attending the Junior Leadership Camp at Camp Elin. We had 7 Juniors and 2 chapparones attend from Crowdy. We arrived 7.30am on Saturday and departed 3.00pm Sunday. There were an array of activities planned for the kids such as rock climbing (wall), water slide, canoeing and a bush walk. The kids were divided into teams and had to earn points to win the competition. There were 30 kids plus the team leaders that participated in the camp. Five of the Crowdy kids walked home with a prize for the winning team (Flynn & Isaac), Cody H, Sarocha M & Abby D getting the prize for inspirational behaviour from each of the lesser placed teams. The kids seemed to have a good time and were tired by the end of Sunday. Jack & Lochlan had a good time and thanks to Dave Hancock for help chapparone.

Nippers carried on as usual with perfect conditions, reduced number of age manager & water safety, but a good turnout of juniors. From all the reports the kids had a good time doing a number of activities. Our 2nd and final points score is on this Sunday Feb 26th. On the following Sunday March 4th we are having Old Bar come for their annual visit and that also happens to be Clean Up Australia Day. Last day of Nippers is on Sunday March 11th and raffles on Friday 2nd & Saturday Mar 3rd asking for volunteers to help on both days.

On the weekend of Feb 11th & 12th the branch had its carnival at Forster. We had 20+ juniors and 10 seniors enter the competition. I must admit, I thought that we would have had more juniors enter. It is good to visit other beaches and engage in some friendly competition. The juniors came 5th and seniors came 2nd. I want to thank all whose who participated, coordinated and officalled I think we had fun and the weather was good.

The NSW Country Championship where held Jan 13th to Jan 15th. There were 5 Juniors that participated with mixed results, but acted as a good learning experience for all

Welcome to Crowdy Head SLSC Junior Activities

Our vision is to provide a safe, friendly and welcoming environment where both Nippers and Parents can interact and enjoy the benefits of a healthy outdoor activity.

The clubhouse and facilities are there for all members

What we are about is surf life saving, with a focus on having fun, teaching and enhancing skills, and emphasising community awareness.

Our Nipper Program provides competition, training, recreation and interaction with peers as well as the SLSA education program.

The Nipper Program

There are over 52, 000 junior surf lifesavers (nippers) in Australia. Nippers start learning about surf awareness and safety through the Surf Life Saving Surf Education Program (Surf Ed).

They are also able to participate in board paddling, surfing, swimming, running, wading and other fun activities and games. We do not teach children how to swim,

however we will teach them surf skills. Nippers are encouraged to undertake regular swim training through a local club or pool.

Practising these skills allows children to compete in Club, Regional and State surf life saving carnivals representing their clubs. Crowdy Head Life Saving Club offers a program

of surf awareness, skills coaching and competition over various levels, similar to the events that Australia's Surf Life Savers participate in.

While competition is an important element, the surf awareness and education aspect is a primary aim. Children are taught from the youngest ages how to respect the surf,

read the surf and use the surf to their advantage. This is done in an environment of fun, healthy lifestyle and camaraderie which is unique to surf life saving.

As a parent or guardian you are REQUIRED to be at the beach at all times during Sunday activities. Your child remains your responsibility. Medication, and the individual general welfare of each child on Crowdy Head beach is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Nippers is NOT a child minding program.

Parents Run Nippers!

It is the experience that the more YOU get involved, the more your child will enjoy nippers.

The Club operates entirely from volunteer help. There are many jobs, so you do not need to have had surf life saving experience!

The Club values the contribution from parents – it makes our Club.

This Juniors page is new and continually developing. If you have any ideas for the nippers page please pass them on to the JAG president

The Nippers page is for Crowdy Head Nippers.
