2021-2022 Season Update

We wanted to thank you for your patience and support over the past few months while we have waited for clarity on COVID-19 restrictions. In recent weeks, the NSW Government announced the roadmap for easing restrictions once NSW has hit the 70%, then 80% double vaccination target and beyond.

We are excited to announce that the Nipper season will start on 7th November 2021!

This year, Nippers will again operate under the same COVID-safe plan implemented over the past two seasons.
Please note that we will be required to comply with the maximum of 200 people at each session, including Club officials, age managers and water safety.

This means registration numbers may need to be limited…..so get in quick!!
