Little Nippers Surf Life Saving Club
SummaryIn 2010 my son enjoyed getting to know Papamoa beach a little during his first year living in the bay.
DescriptionActually they're not called Little Nippers, but Junior Surf. Growing up I used to think of them as Little Nippers.
On their website they say. . .
"Junior Surf is about developing tomorrow's lifeguards and opening up a whole new world to children. By encouraging fun and safe participation, it is an ideal way for children to develop and improve their surf lifesaving knowledge and skills not just for themselves, but perhaps one day possibly for others.
They will have a ton of fun, some good, clean, healthy physical exercise and learn to be safe on the beach in an environment that promotes growth, body awareness and fitness while enabling opportunities for development of personal and social skills.
The national Junior Surf programme is designed for 7-14 year olds but at Papamoa we have extended this to include 5 and 6 year olds also (determined by the age the child is on September 30). Each age group is assigned a coach and assistant coaches who will oversee the activities for the children in their group. The activities will generally start off with a short warm up, followed by a mixture of some fun games, some races and competitions and some skill-based activities on the beach. These will then be followed by some water-based activities, which will vary according to the age of the group.
Junior Surf is on most Sundays from 10am-12 over the summer months and will start this year on 6th November 2011 and finish with the Club Champs on 4th March 2012. There is a two-week break over the Christmas period.
During the summer there are various carnivals that children (7+) are encouraged to attend and the Club Championships at the end of the season are for all Papamoa Surf Club members aged 5 +"
