Hi All,

This free Development Squad fits between the 6-week Introduction and Competition Squads to advance your surf skills.

MUST READ
- The Development Board Training Squad program is limited to 15 nippers max each week. Select Yes in the Reply Box at the bottom of EACH Team App Calendar Item to indicate attendance.
- Squads will only be posted three weeks in advance to discourage blanket filling of places.
- We would welcome a parent to become a Level 1 Coach so numbers can increase.

- Several events conflict with Saturday mornings. On these weeks, the squad will be held on the preceding Thursday 5:00-6:00pm.
- Always check the Team App calendar for the most up to date information. For a preliminary indication of proposed dates see this calendar.
