We are super stoked to offer the Barwon Heads Bendigo Community Bank Surf Squad,

Cam & Fordy will kick off each training day with the whole group, then break off into targeted training pods based on age/ability. Volunteer assistant coaches will take the lead for the smaller groups under the guidance of Cam & Fordy.

We’ve been able to offer this program at such an affordable price with many thanks to the Bendigo Bank. However to make this happen we also depend on parents to throw their hands up to help out on the training days.

Who will we need:
8x Assistant Coaches – Training and guidance from Surf Session Coaches
Group Coordinators – Organising the kids grouping and attendance each week
In-water parent helpers – Assisting kids, ensuring a safe experience while in the water.

*If your Grom requires in-water assistance on comp days, you must be present for them in the water for the class duration. If not please be present on the beach while your child is in the water.

*All Parent helpers must attain Working With Children Check. WWCC can be done online, however it is free and easier to head into the local post office as online can be glitchy.

In the event of bad weather or unsafe surf conditions, location may be changed, or land based training may replace water training. Cancelling sessions will be the last resort, but won’t be rescheduled. See Team App each week for any updates.

We can’t wait for you to be apart of our first Surf Squad!
