Youth Training sessions Tuesday night:
Our Youth nights have so far been going very well but just a few reminders. Please bring your club
hats (black and gold). If you don’t have one then they are available from the club for £8.50. You will
need one for competitions throughout the year. You MUST sign in with Doreen before the session
start and once the session has finished, you CANNOT go home until you have done so.
Club Kit:
Our Club kit is precious!! Please look after it. The Dulux racing boards are to be only used on
Training nights and competition. Do not use them outside of these times. There is plenty of
other/older kit that can be used. If you spot any kit that needs to be repaired then please let me
know.
Level 2 Swim and Board Comps
As a youth you will need to take a level 2 swim and a level 2 board competencies. This will then
allow you to not only use the equipment outside of training times (whilst the beach is lifeguarded)
but also is the minimum requirement to be able to compete at region and national competitions at
youth level. Each award costs £5 and we will be starting to run the qualifications very soon.
