NCSLSC Cadets

The Youth program is designed to engage, enthuse, and educate all graduating ‘Woodside Nippers’, and new youth members across the pillars of surf life saving being lifesaving; surf sports; education and training.

Our U14 to U17 youth members are provided with opportunities to learn and develop new skills to become not only better surf lifesavers, but also contributors to their local communities. This program is run by dedicated volunteers who want to support our youth.
