Club Awards

Junior Development Awards

As part of the Nippers program, children have the opportunity to gain a junior development award each season; each member should be encouraged to attain their respective age award.

 

The Age Awards are as follows:

• U6 – Surf Play 1

• U7 – Surf Play 2

• U8 – Surf Aware 1

• U9 – Surf Aware 2

• U10 – Surf Safe 1

• U11 – Surf Safe 2

• U12 – Surf Smart 1

• U13 – Surf Smart 2 (includes Resuscitation Certificate)

• U14 – Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC)

 

As Surf Education is delivered throughout the season, it is important to ensure your child is attending Nippers regularly to ensure they aren’t missing out on key aspects of these awards.

​

End of Season Awards

Each season, Bay and Basin Community Nippers Club Inc. recognises the outstanding achievement of our Nippers at our end-of-season presentation day. The awards aim not only to recognise achievement in surf sports but also to acknowledge participation in the Nipper program and reward those Nippers who exemplify our Club values.

 

Each child will receive a participation medal, and two children from each age group will be awarded either the Allrounder or a Most Improved Award.
