Welcome to Papamoa’s surf sports programme. Our programme is nationally recognised in delivering high performance athletes and fit lifeguards, we were recently awarded Ocean Athlete Club of the Decade for 2010 and Kurt Wilson PSLSC Head Coach received the DHL Coach of the Year Trophy at the SLSNZ 2010 annual awards.
Papamoa athletes are performing across all disciplines. These include surf swimming, board, surf ski, sprints, canoe, boats and IRBs (Inflatable Rescue Boats). Our coaches are qualified and excel in their field.
We have coaching programmes for beginner, intermediate and advance athletes.
Many of our athletes excel in other sports. Surf Life Saving is a sport that complements many other sporting codes. Businesses see our surf sports programme as a viable commercial opportunity to get value for money exposure.
Papamoa is a young emerging club. It has aspirations of taking our talent to the world. We want you to be a part of it.
Coaching Programme:
The coaching programme is the same as last season. We are holding beginner, intermediate and advance training programmes. These programmes start from Monday, 11 October through to the NZ National Championships on the 11th March 2010.
While there are different coaches this year, the programme will keep on delivering the skills you need. The beginner and intermediate programmes will start from 4.00pm weeknights and 10.00am on Saturdays. The advanced programme starts at 5.30pm each weeknight and 9am and 3pm on Saturdays.
We have contacts with other summer sports that can help you with your performance at the beach. Some of these include swimming, water polo, kayaking, and athletics.
