Nipper Registrations – HAVE CLOSED
That’s right – our intake for new and returning Nippers has closed as of Monday 25th October 2021.
The commencement date for the 2021-22 Nipper Season is Sunday 5th December!!
We are encouraging the “Turn up, Participate and Leave” practice as per SLSNSW advice.
Whilst we are planning to run a nipper programme that is as near to normal as we can safely make it, this season will look a bit different. Due to the fluid nature of the recommendations from Government Authorities related to Covid-19 we cannot guarantee a continuous or full season
- Club facilities ie change rooms, toilets and showers will not be open this season. Council facilities will be open.
- Accompanying parents, guardians etc attending nippers must register at every session on arrival for contact tracing if required.
- Hand sanitizing stations will be available at various locations around the club, we encourage use as required.
- Our numbers are limited (by Gov’t guidelines) so in order to comply with the Public Health Order (PHO) we request only one parent to attend with their nippers unless you are actively involved in running the nipper programme, ie age manager, water safety, Covid Safety Monitor.
- Nippers, whilst participating in their programme do not have to maintain physical distancing however all spectators (parents, guardians etc) must maintain 1.5m distance as per Dept of Health advice.
Please be aware that Nipper session times may differ from previous years to help meet number limitations for Public Health Order (PHO) compliance. For the continuing safety of our Nippers there are three Nipper sessions each Sunday. The proposed times per age group (subject to change) provide a 15 minute window to allow Nippers and their families to exit the beach (if leaving). The times are:
- 8:15am report to Age Manager, 8:30am – 9:30am
U6, U8 and U14’s - 9:30am report to Age Managers, 9:45am – 10:45am
U7, U10 and U13’s - 10:45am report to Age Managers, 11am – 12:00pm
U9, U11 and U12’s
When and Where
- Nippers runs from Sunday 5th December until TBC, with a Christmas and New Years break between TBC to TBC.
