As most of you would know, the Nippers Program depends entirely on help from parents of the children involved. Without you, it simply cannot run.
Roles vary enormously; some are small, some are not so small, some are beach based, some are more administrative. Some are during the 2 weeks of Nippers, others are more pre season. Whatever your situation or preferred helper role, we can find something to suit you.
A minimum of 1 parent (or sibling 15 years or older) is required, from each Nipper family, to fill a Parent Helper role.
Multiple Roles may be selected for single or multiple family helpers. Roles will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis. You may be asked to fulfil an alternative role should a role be over subscribed.
