Hi Nipper Families,
Please find below some key updates before the season kicks off on Sunday:
Key Dates:
Just a reminder on the kick off for the season:
- Under 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13's kick off next weekend Sunday 16th October 2-4pm at Jan Juc
- A social kick off for all Nippers age groups is Sunday 16th October 4-7pm at the surf club with food, music and the bar open.
- Under 7 and 8's kick off on Sunday 6th November 9-11am (all age groups will be running from this Sunday onwards)
- Wednesday sessions kick off on Wednesday the 9th of November for Under 9s and up.
Nippers Parents Bronze Medallion Training:
We are very excited to be offering a Nippers parents bronze medallion program at our club rooms in November. The bronze program is a very rewarding experience that:
- Enables you to be part of the action in the water with your Nipper
- Gives you first aid, rescue and water skills that are useful well beyond Nippers sessions
- Builds long lasting friendships with those that are on the program with you
- Is one of the ways that you can meet the requirement for parent help if you Nipper wants to attend 2 or more carnivals over the season
The program will be very supportive, being Nippers parents participating and delivering the course. You will build up your skills and confidence as a team over the duration of the course and you will surprise yourself in what you will achieve! Some parents that did it last year were apprehensive about the water activities before doing the course and were so pleased with what they achieved after doing it - I still remember their celebrations on the beach!

The course will be run over a four week period in November consisting of 2 weekday evenings and a half day on the weekend for each week of the course.
Swim Assessments:
We had a great session at the pool today completing over 55 swim assessments. For those that haven't yet completed their swim assessment please send it into info@janjucsurfclub.com.au asap before the season begins.
Nippers Registrations:
Can you also please remember to complete your Nippers registration form (this is in addition to your club membership application and links your Nipper to an age group) https://janjucsurfclub.com.au/Nipper-Registration (that will be it for registration forms for a while - I promise).
Under 7 Coaches and Team Managers:
We are still looking for Under 7 Coaches and Team Managers - please put your name down if interested via this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_ImZXAFvrGXzY15FUQVnHx4w6NS3PUlQQxKo3A1F2CRvyrA/viewform
Looking forward to getting things started.
Kind Regards
Nippers Committee
