Last week 6 kids from Semaphore were part of SLSSA’s youth development camp.
Under 12’s Jemma Bennett & Jasmin Gibbons
Under 13’s Lindsay Ould & Connor Tunbridge
Under 14’s Seth Bartlett & Josh Larven
The camp was made up of 80 kids from 15 clubs who were all chosen as representatives of their respective clubs.
The kids took part in surf education lessons, body boarding, surfing, stand-up paddle boarding and pool rescue competitions.
All the kids had a great time, made new friends, learnt new skills and had huge amounts of fun.
While on the camp as a supervisor, I too got to take part in some of the activities. All the kids will tell you what a great surfer and paddle boarder I was.
This was a great opportunity for the club and as a supervisor I would recommend this camp to all future leaders of our club.
Well done to all the kids involved you did yourselves, families and club proud by your attitude and behaviour last week.

Wow – what a huge three days the Senior Competition Group have had! With day one of States held at Pt Noarlunga on Sunday 15th March and days 2 and 3 held at Southport on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th of March we are all a little tired and ready for a short break before winter training begins in a few weeks.
We achieved some awesome results – making finals in numerous events, achieving top 6 finishes (giving the club points) on 16 occasions and winning 6 medals (3 Bronze, 2 Silver and 1 Gold).
Thanks firstly to the small but extremely dedicated crew who participated in numerous events over the three days. It is amazing to see such a close and supportive bunch of people work together for our club.
Thanks must also go to the following: –
The aim of the Senior Competition Group this season was to finish in the top 10. Provisional results see us in 9th place and only a handful of points away from 8th. This is an awesome effort by the Seniors, Masters and Boaties and something to be very proud of.
This goes to show that this group is improving every year so just watch this space next season!!!!
