Our youth are vital to the future of Cottesloe Surf Club, and we are building a culture that includes youth across all aspects of lifesaving. We seek to provide and environment that engages our youth promoting respect, mateship and participation in a safe and supportive environment.
During summer our youth are spread across the beach participating in patrols, helping with the nipper program, assisting officiate Sunday activities and participating in Sunday Titan activities.
Our goal is to engage the youth as they transition out of nippers and support them on further engagement in the club through:
· Lifesaving – transitioning out of nippers into patrolling lifesaver members, initially with them obtaining their SRC and then move to bronze qualification with other advanced qualifications.
· Surf Sports – Cottesloe is building a competitive pathway with increasing numbers competing building success and team spirit.
· Training – While achieving their SRC and bronze qualification, allowing our youth the opportunity
