Interbranch Trials
The dates for the interbranch trials have now been finalised and this year the beach and water competitors will be split up due to clashing events that may prevent some competitors attending.
The Beach events will be held at Nth Curl Curl on the 9th October for ALL U12s through to OPEN competitors
The Water events will be staged at Nth Cur Curl on the 16th October for ALL U12s through to U17s competitors
These trials help selectors choose the interbranch team and train-on squad for the season and it is in the best interests of everyone wishing to be part of the team to take part in these trials. Selectors will also take into account other factors such as past results etc to make their decision. In the case where a decision cannot be made after the trial date, competitors may be asked to attend some specific carnivals such as the Sydney Water Series, Manly Junior Carnival etc and then a decision will be made after that.A more detailed selection criteria, including start times ( expected to be midday ) will be made available shortly, but please keep these dates free if you wish to trial for the interbranch team.

This program is open to anybody who needs to do their bronze prior to any carnival or those who wish to do it over one week rather than a number of weeks. The price of the course will vary pending the number of candidates (we try to keep it as cheap as possible) but it can be anywhere from $450 to $550. This program has been particularly useful for new boaties wishing to compete at the first boat carnival.
Please contact Marcial@surflifesaving.net.au ASAP if you are interested as these courses have been filled very quickly in the past, particularly for this session at the start of the season. And please pass on to any other interested parties.
