Nipper Update - Sept 21

Dear Nipper Parents,
 
My name is Peter Kondilios and I am the Director of Youth for the 2021/2022 Nipper season. I am a long term member of South Maroubra Surf Club, having completed my Surf Life Saving training as a young nipper at this great club. I am so excited to be leading this year's Nipper program. 

Children’s community sport is my passion. I have been an Age Manager for the last 8 years at South Maroubra and am also actively involved with Maroubra Lions Football Club. My own life has been very much shaped by my association with sporting and community organisations just like South Maroubra Nippers. I am the father of 3 school aged children who are all members of South Maroubra Nippers. I am now extremely excited to have the opportunity to give back to the community that has been such a big part of my own life. 

The Nippers 2021/2022 season will start as soon as NSW Health advises that community sport is allowed to commence. Registrations are now open and we encourage you to register your children as numbers may be limited. 

How Nippers will run at South Maroubra SLSC
This season, only qualified members will be able to support the delivery of the program. Trained Age Managers and Water Safety team members will help us ensure that Nippers are kept safe, both in the water and on the beach. 

As always we would love more people to join the team!

If you are interested in finding out more in regards to attaining your Bronze Medallion, please contact [email protected]. Age Manager/Beach Crew Courses will also be running this year with dates & times to be confirmed. Be part of the fun and get involved!

This season Nippers will have 2 different start times (B - Boys, G - Girls):

• 8.00 AM - Under 14B/G, 13B/G, 12B/G, 11B/G, 8 Girls and Under 7B/G’s. 
• 9.30 AM - Under 10B/G, 9B/G, 8 Boys and Under 6B/G’s. 

There will be a 15 minute gap between the 2 sessions to allow people to leave their designated areas. These times are subject to change pending Nipper registration numbers.
 
Over the next few weeks we will provide more information on how Nippers will run. As Government restrictions change prior to season start, we will endeavour to update you on information as it becomes available. 

I am committed to keeping all members of the club safe and thank you for your support and understanding in these changing times.

Get ready for a lot of fun and a great season at the best beach in Sydney with the best club, South Maroubra SLSC. 

​Warm regards,
Peter Kondilios
Director of Youth Development
