Youth Program
How to get involved
Surf Life Saving NT plays a key role in the community and has leadership programs for all ages. The aim of SLSNT’s Youth Program is to engage, enthuse, and educate all graduating Nippers and new youth members, regardless of their ability in any surf sport discipline, and aid the retention and development of members.
For our youth (U14-U17) we aim to provide a safe and supportive environment in which young people can grow and develop into not only better surf lifesavers, but also contributors to their local communities.
The youth of Surf Life Saving are not only the key to our future but in many cases are leading the way now. With over nearly half of our national membership under the age of 18, they are critical to all aspects of surf lifesaving. While enjoying the beach lifestyle you:
