Parents / Carers / Nippers – Responsibilities

Parents and carers play an essential role in supporting Nippers, not only for their own children but for the whole group.

Before and After Nippers

• Nippers line up at 9:45 am ready for a 10:00 am start.

• All Nippers must line up in front of their Age Group flag.

• At the end of the session, all groups return to this area for sign-off. Children cannot be signed off on the beach.

• Parents/carers must sign children in and out on the attendance list held by the Age Manager.

• If you need to leave early, please inform the Age Manager and sign your child out.

During Nippers

• Parents/carers must stay close to their child’s group at all times.

• You are encouraged to assist when needed.

• Parents/carers are responsible for taking their own child to the toilet.

• Parents/carers are expected to help with the BBQ when their age group is rostered on.

​

Supporting Children

• Encourage children to participate and enjoy themselves – do not force them.

• Focus on effort and progress, not just results.

• Remind children to play by the rules and show respect.

Safety Guidelines
