The Surf Sports Standing Committee approved the following at the June 2015 meeting:
To come in line with the National Youth Championships, U14’s to be transitioned into senior carnivals from the 2015/16 season.
Following quite a significant amount of feedback from clubs and meetings conducted on August 13th and September 10th the information attached has been compiled. There are a number of items where a consensus has been reached and therefore a “recommended approach” has been made. There are other items where more conversation or feedback was required to achieve a smooth transition.
The U14s group (coached by Sean McKenzie) will still train with the Juniors on Saturday afternoons. Daryle Rigney will be the Team Manager for the U14s/15s at carnivals to support a smooth transition into senior competition.
The 2015/16 season will get underway with the first of two board and ski events.
Board and Ski Event 1 is to be held on Saturday 10th October at Seacliff SLSC. Marshaling will be from 8am with the event to be held from 9-11am (approximately).
This event is open to U14 – Masters (board) and U17 – Masters (ski).

This season we are looking at holding a weekly training session that is specifically focussed on beach events: – flags, sprints, relays and the 2k run.
Our aim is for the group to include all of those that are keen from U12s up so that this group can develop through the later Junior ages and continue into Seniors.
We are looking for someone (more than one person definitely an option) prepared to run this session (day and time to be negotiated).
We will provide you with all of the support needed (including contact with those at other clubs doing the same role).
So – if you are a bit of a ‘beachie’ yourself and would like to share your knowledge and ‘talent’ and/or you are keen to help out in an area that we are eager to develop please let Karin Humphrey know at kaz412@bigpond.com

We have boooked in the Chiton Rocks SLSC for a senior training camp which is open to all season 15/16 U14s and above, for the weekend of Fri 30th Oct-Sun 1st Nov.
Cost is $22 per person per night, we have received a discount because all qualified attendees will be doing Chiton’s patrol on the Saturday.
All food will be organised for the attendees, which will come at a further cost which will be circulated closer to the event (after the shop is done).
Karin Humphrey needs DEFINITE numbers ASAP so the booking can be confirmed. Sleeping arangements are a large dorm, so everyone will need to bring their own sleeping bags and pillows.
As our new U14s will not yet have their SRC we will require sufficient water cover to allow them to get the most out of there surf experience.
Let’s get this season underway with a camp that has been so successful at team bonding and developing new surf skills.
