nippers
Grow your child’s confidence, knowledge and surf skills in a fun and safe beach environment.NIPPER REGISTRATION 2024/25
Membership and Nippers registrations for 2024/25 will open on 1st August.
Note, the 2023/24 season opened on 1 August 2023 and due to unprecedented demand, closed on 8th August while the Nipper management team assessed numbers and resourcing. On 22nd August we opened a second intake, for the age groups/streams that we still had space for.
Nippers must be 7 years of age on or before 30 September in the year of application for their membership to be accepted. Children under the age of 13 must join with at least one parent/guardian, under family membership.
Nippers is a junior activity program that introduces children aged 7 to 13 to surf lifesaving. The program is designed to develop essential surf skills, boost confidence and train nippers to become future surf life savers and patrolling members of OGSLSC.
Running across three different streams, OGSLC offers a Surf Sport program, Core Sunday Nippers program and Summer Intensive Surf Education program (more info via links below).
Members aged 7-13 are able to participate as Nippers. Families select the stream of Nippers by completing the Nipper Registration form.
The nipper program is run by the Junior Activities Committee and its volunteer team. We require parents to get involved in a volunteer role to help deliver the program.
OGSLSC takes child protection very seriously.
