Officials

Enable our Nippers to compete by providing this key role of officiating the events for the age group your Nipper is competing in. The club needs to provide a ratio of officials when we enter Nippers in carnivals.

This role also gives you a front line, behind the scenes view of your Nipper competing.

• Assist with the running and officiating of events at nippers carnivals

(The club will support you in completing a short online course complimented by a short face to face session run by the club. You will also be provided further mentoring at your first carnival)

Water Safety

Be in the water, swimming alongside and riding the waves with your Nipper whilst keeping the group safe.

As part of this role, the club will support you in obtaining and maintaining your Bronze Medallion. Adult helpers are key to making our Nippers sessions work, but unless you have your Bronze Medallion, you are actually adding to the numbers that we need to provide water safety for.

• Provide water safety at each nippers session
• Help coaches run activities
• Hold bronze or SRC qualification

SRC or Bronze Medallion

(This is such a great way to build your water and first aid skills – handy at Nippers but also at home and when with family and friends. The course is delivered in a fun and staged way that builds your skills as you go. You will surprise yourself in what you can achieve and will have so much more fun at Nippers sessions being a part of the action)

First aiders

Hopefully we don’t need you, but if we do your skills will be very much appreciated.

• Provide first aid at Nippers sessions and carnivals
