Nippers
Manly Junior Life Saving Club's Nipper Programme for children ages 5yrs (must be 5yrs old on 1 October) to 14yrs will be offered again from October 2008 until March 2009 - see season calendar in the current Nipper Handbook.
Each season we produce a Nippers Handbook - the 2008/09 handbook is available at the end of this page. We hope you will find useful and that it answers any questions that you may have about Nippers and our Club.
We have a vibrant, dedicated and dynamic Junior Club; our vision is to provide a safe, friendly and welcoming environment where both Nippers and Parents join and enjoy membership.
What we are about is surf life saving, with a focus on having fun, teaching and enhancing skills and emphasising community awareness.
Our Nipper Programme provides equal allocation between competition, education and recreation, with leadership skills for the 13`s and 14`s.
We actively encourage our Nippers to participate in all activities; be it volleyball, the wade relay or discussing which way a rip may go on the beach. We seek to offer diversity by offering a programme to give all our Nippers encouragement and motivation to learn new skills, develop confidence and pride in our Club. And we warmly invite parents to participate with us in the Program.
Registration will be open for new and renewing members each Sunday throughout the season from 8.00am (from 5 October 08)
