End of Nipper training for 2021/22

Last week was the final nipper training session for the 2021/22 season.

A huge thanks to all of the volunteers, parents/guardians and caregivers, and most of all the kids, for making it such a great season.

Watching these kids build in confidence, take on new challenges, encourage each other, form friendships and have a lot of laughs, has been a highlight for many.

A special mention to our Under 13’s who have completed their final year in Nippers. We hope to see you on the beach next year as seniors, patrolling members and/or age group assistants. If you would like to find out more please contact Craig (seniors@semaphoreslsc.com.au) about seniors; Andrew (patrols@semaphoreslsc.com.au) about patrols; and Jo (juniorsec@semaphoreslsc.com.au) about being an age group assistant.

Good luck to those competing at States. Don’t forget Nipper presentation day on March 26 at the Club.

Look forward to seeing you all back on the beach next year!

Seabirds wraps up for 2021/22

Semaphore Seabirds had their final session for the season last weekend.

A huge thank you to all the parents for bringing your kids out this season. It has been great to see these kids grow in confidence from week to week, conquer carnivals and most of all have fun on the beach.

Thanks also to all their big buddies and support crew.

We hope to see you next season!

States – Day 1

Congratulations to everyone who competed in Day 1 of State Champs at Aldinga on the weekend.

Day 1 focused on Board Rescue and R&R (2 person and 5 person). It was a long day but the kids were fantastic, waiting patiently, supporting each other and giving each event 100%.

Two of our Under 10/11 person R&R teams made the final just missing our on medals with our Under 12/13 team just missing out on a place in the final. A highlight of the day was a group of Under 12/13 boys who took out 1st place in 5 person R&R. Competition was tight with the three medalling teams equal on points, with places decided on a count back. Congratulations to Thao, Ky, Samuel, Joel and Oliver. A big thanks and congratulations to Raelene and John.

Special recognition to Dylan W who also trained as part of the group. Dylan filled in for West Beach who were short a member, with the team taking home the silver medal in the final.
