Junior Surf Sports Program (JSSP)

The Junior Surf Sports Program (JSSP) at Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club is the perfect opportunity for young Nippers to take their skills to the next level. With sessions running from October to March, participants can expect top-notch coaching in board paddling, swimming, and iron skills. The goal? To support those interested in competing at state or national level competitions - and hey, the club has got the track record to prove it! State champions and national finalists? Yeah, they've got 'em.

To join the JSSP, Nippers need to complete the Junior Surf Lifesaving Program (JSLP) and pass a competition skills assessment. Trained coaches guide the sessions, helping participants of all ages improve their surf skills in varying conditions. Plus, there are team activities like polo flamingo and mass rescue to build that team spirit and sportsmanship.

For the little ones, development sessions help boost their skills, confidence, and fitness - and during summer, there's even specialized beach training on offer. Junior carnivals are sprinkled throughout the season, giving Nippers a chance to put their skills to the test in a fun, competitive setting. Point Leo is all about participation, learning, and sportsmanship, offering both individual and team events to suit every skill level.

And the cherry on top? The State Championships in March, where Nippers get to show off all they've learned. Communication is key, so updates on JSSP training and competitions are shared through the Team App and club email. Stay in the loop, stay informed, and most importantly - have fun out there!
