SEASON AWARDS

Additional trophies are also awarded at the end of the season for Most Improved, Encouragement Award, Carnival Competitor and Champion Lifesaver. Criteria for these awards is listed below:
Most improved
A perpetual trophy is awarded to the nipper in the club who is selected by the coaches and age managers as the most improved. This will typically be awarded to a nipper who has made greatest gain in one season, such as but not limited to, placing in a carnival championships compared with previous seasons. High attendance throughout the season will count toward this award. A nipper must be in the Club greater than 12 months to be eligible for this award.
Encouragement Award
A trophy is awarded to the nipper in the Club who is selected by the coaches and age managers as having displayed a positive attitude and tried hard all year but was not able to place in carnivals or Club Championships. High attendance throughout the season will count toward this award.
Carnival Competitor
A trophy is awarded to the nipper in the Club who excels at nipper carnivals. This will typically be awarded to a nipper that competes in many carnivals, places in carnivals or qualifies for state qualification.
Champion Lifesaver
A trophy is awarded to an Under 14 in the club who has demonstrated the physical, theoretical & patrolling skills required of a lifesaver. To be eligible for this trophy the junior must have attained their Surf rescue Certificate. Points for the trophy will be awarded based on competing in the ‘Champion Lifesaver day run at Miami Beach SLSC. In the event that this day is not run, participation in other Champion Lifesaver carnivals and the number of patrol hours accumulated after club designated U14 SRC exam date will count.
JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS
