North Shore Boardriders Junior Development Program

North Shore Boardriders coaches Matt Clark, Jack Reginato, Grant Thomas and Shane Bevan are providing 32 Juniors (7-14 Years) a 7 week program including surf coaching, gym sessions and breath hold training - all important training so the future of our club remains strong. 

North Shore Boardriders Club is excited to announce that we have been granted funds from the Sunshine Coast Council to assist us with running a junior development program. This combined with the support from Ocean Performance Center we will be able to offer a limited amount of our junior surfers this development program training at a reduced price. 

Our Junior Development program is aimed at our members aged 14 and under. We are creating this program to nurture our younger members to ensure that our club keeps its strong competitive roots. We are aiming to improve their competitive and free surfing skills in a safe and enjoyable environment.

We aim to do this by providing team coaching sessions at our local surf breaks. These sessions are aiming to improve the children’s surfing techniques, waves selection and increase confidence in the ocean. The sessions will be videoed and then analysed with the coaches at the North Shore Boardriders Clubhouse.

Team strength and conditioning sessions will be conducted at Ocean Performance Center. These sessions are aimed at educating the children in health and fitness and the important role it plays in not just surfing but also life. Some pool sessions will be included incorporating swimming and breath enhancement techniques. These sessions will be included to increase confidence in the surf.

The program will be utilising professional coaches that have proven backgrounds in all of these fields. 

We are looking at running the program from the third week of this school term Monday 27 July and running for 7 weeks ending 13 September.
