Welcome to the South Maroubra Nipper Program, On behalf of South Maroubra SLSC, I’d like to thank you for choosing our club to develop your child’s lifesaving skills at our nipper program. We are excited to have your young lifesaver/s in training learning and developing such important lifesaving skills with us. The Surf Lifesaving 2017/2018 season is due to commence on the 23/9/2017 with our first nipper weekend due on the second weekend of October 2017. Full nipper season details are included in the nipper calendar. We are proud of our program being all inclusive and delivered in a fun and friendly atmosphere, the program is delivered by us, a group of dedicated volunteers. If you have the time and would like to be part of my team, please let us know. You don’t need to become a lifesaver to volunteer, there are several ways that you can assist and make a difference, although if you are keen to become a certified lifesaver, we can support and guide you to get there. Be ready for a fun and great season at the best beach in Sydney with the best club, South Maroubra SLSC. Remember, if you have any questions, suggestions, concerns or just want to have a chat, please come and see me, or email us on [email protected] With regards, Marcelo Garay Director of Youth Development

mailto:[email protected]

One of the biggest volunteer program delivered world wide, having over 60,000 young lifesavers in training (Nippers) in Australia with its main purpose to develop our youth into competent lifesavers for our community. Our Sydney branch is the largest one in Australia exceeding 7,000 nippers.

Nippers from the young age of 5 commence their development as young lifesavers. Through the program, they are taught to respect the surf, read it and use it to their advantage, whilst developing and practicing essential surf lifesaving skills (such as CPR, First Aid, surf rescue skills, etc), all this is done in an fun and friendly environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle and camaraderie which is unique to surf lifesaving.

The South Maroubra Nipper Program has been running for over 40 years and is a dynamic part of the South Maroubra community. Nippers days run for about 2 hours subject to weather and water conditions. Depending on the Age Groups, events may include wading, board paddling, swimming, beach sprinting and beach flags, as well as lots of fun activities and games designed to increase engagement and to develop team work. Subject to conditions, we do as many water activities as possible. Our Nippers participate in a progressive SLSA Surf Education program (Surf Ed), this program has been structured to provide them with the skills and knowledge of beach safety rules and basic first aid. Nippers must complete this before the Christmas break and attend at least 70% of the sessions. The Under 6’s and 7's Groups primarily focus on fun and games on the beach which teach children basic skills and awareness of where to swim and what help is available from lifesavers, shallow water activities for these groups are carried out at the far South End of Maroubra Beach in the rock pool. The Under 8's to Under 14's participate in a structured program that includes skill development activities in both the beach and water environment and an integrated education program that develops basic resuscitation, first aid, rescue skills and understanding of the beach and surf. These groups can also represent our club at local carnivals several times during the season. Although not compulsory, we encourage children to participate (to meet other nippers, to test their skills in a new beach environment and enjoy representing our club). If you’re interested in your nipper/s representing our club at these events, your support will be required in areas such as: - Water Safety; - Officiating; or - Admin tasks (recording), etc. The last year at Nipper (U14s) cements the path to our young lifesavers to the Youth team (Sting Rays) which compliments their transition to joining our senior ranks, where they can develop their lifesaving careers and/or continue representing our club at competition. Our extensive coaching/training program which is available to all nippers, does compliment the weekend nipper program. At these sessions, the nippers can practice and further development skills in board paddling, ocean swimming, sand/sprinting. Training sessions are available on weekday afternoons.

TYPICAL NIPPER DAY If your child has to leave the designated area at any time during the Nippers session, they are required to obtain permission from their Age Manager and may only leave with a designated parent or guardian. This procedure is to ensure the safety of your child at all times. For all Nipper activities a parent or guardian is required to be present at all times.

“Nippers is not a child-minding service”

All nippers need to assemble 15 minutes prior to commencing in their age groups on the grassed area behind the Surf Club where your Age Manager/Assistant will mark the roll. Announcements and important information for Nippers, parents and carers are communicated at the start of the day. Please be on time and pay attention to these announcements so that you are aware and up to date with all matters concerning your child. Nippers is almost always on: If the weather is unsuitable, Nippers will be advised by their Age Manager as to whether the morning’s activities will be cancelled or will go ahead; subject to surf conditions the beach events may only go ahead. Under the guidance and supervision of their Age Manager, children will then take part in fun on the beach and in the water. Nippers must wear their age nipper caps during club nipper days and their South Maroubra nipper caps when participating at carnivals. Caps are to be removed on signing out with your Age Manager/Assistant at the end of Nipper days and Carnivals so that we know children are under full parental supervision.

NO NIPPER CAP – NO NIPPER ACTIVITIES IMPORTANT NOTE: Children are to carry a water bottle and should have sunscreen applied prior to the commencement, and throughout the morning of Nippers. Rash shirts are strongly recommended.

THE OCEAN IS NOT THE PLACE TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM

PLEASE NOTE: If your child is not a competent swimmer it is strongly recommended they be placed into a swimming squad at their local pool. The focus of Nippers is to introduce surf skills and awareness not to provide “how to swim” lessons.

AGE MANAGERS At the beginning and through each nipper season we call for volunteers to step forward to act as a Age Managers, Assistant Age Managers or Beach Crew for each age groups. The Age Managers coordinate their age groups activities each Nipper day with the assistance of the Assistant Age Managers and Beach Crew who will record the children's attendance, participation in our Surf Education Program & results. Should you have any items that you would like to be considered at our monthly Nipper Committee meetings please do not hesitate to ask your Age Manager to take forward your ideas to the Nipper Committee? If you are interested in assisting please advise your Age Manager or Nipper Committee members.

YOUR ROLE AS A PARENT/CARER

YOU DO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE! One thing we can tell you for certain; the more YOU get involved, the more you and your child will enjoy Nippers. Overall, the emphasis in Nippers is to have fun in an all inclusive environment. The Club operates entirely from volunteer help. There are many jobs you can help with, and you do not need to have had surf life saving experience or be a lifesaver. The Club values any and all contributions from parents – it makes our Club.

BE PART OF THE FUN – GET INVOLVED

WAYS OF GETTING INVOLVED…

Age Managers, Assistants, Beach Crew Water Safety, IRB crew/driver Be an accredited Official/Coach Setting up the beach and putting equipment away Nipper’s Official Photographer Education and Training Assisting with Apparel Fund Raising, etc.

Please ensure you keep your children well hydrated during the nipper activities and be sun-smart, use plenty

of sun block at all times.

WATER SAFETY AND OFFICIALS Safety is our first priority in all activities conducted by the Club.

Safety extends to safety on the beach, in the water and consideration to the protection of all children.

Safety in the Water

Our Water Safety Coordinator liaises with the Council Lifeguards and Patrol Captain each Nipper day prior to conducting any nipper activities. They will decide if the surf conditions are suitable to conduct surf activities. The Lifeguard, Patrol Captain or Water Safety Coordinator may cease activities if conditions become unsafe.

The guidelines for water safety are laid down by the Surf Life Saving Association and will be adhered to by all. The IRB or ‘Rubber Duckie’ is present during all nipper water activities.

It is imperative that as many parents (with the appropriate awards) as possible are in the water to accompany children in surf activities. to meet the required ratio. Water Safety Officers must wear orange or yellow rash vests and orange caps during surf activities. No surf activities will commence unless there is the correct ratio of water safety personnel

Officials

A ‘Carnival Officials’ course is available for parents who would like to get involved at our Competition Carnivals that we will attend each season. This is the chance to get a ringside seat at the action! Without Officials from our Clubs, we are not allowed to compete at carnivals. For each 10 competitors, at a minimum we must supply an accredited Official from our Club.

Water Safety

At the beginning and through the season training is available for any parent interested in obtaining their Bronze Medallion or their Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC). Many parents complete their Bronze or SRC and in doing so, enjoy the learning experience whilst improving their fitness and getting a greater understanding of surf lifesaving.

The Club must meet the water safety requirements listed by the Surf Life Saving Association. It is therefore essential that as many parents as possible obtain their Bronze Medallion or SRC to assist with water safety. If we do not have the required number of Water Safety Officers then surf events cannot be conducted, whether at a normal nipper day, carnivals or club training sessions.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN A NEW SKILL! Have a go…

YOUTH CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS The Nipper Executive Committee has resolved to conduct two youth club championship days for our nippers in the U8 to U13 age groups. One for sand activities and the second one for water activities How will it work?

On the designated day (as identified on the 2017-2018 Season calendar), Age Managers and Assistants will marshall their groups to the relevant event areas where the nippers will participate and compete. Each event and area will be managed and recorded by club officials in a similar way as carnivals are run. Depending on the number of nippers participating, the events will be structured in a number of heats, quarter finals, semi finals and finals. Awards will be presented to the top three (3) finalists in every single event.

PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible for the awards for the championship trophies,

Nippers MUST HAVE ATTENDED a minimum of 15 out of 20 nipper days and be competition proficient.
