Beach training

Welcome to season 2023 / 24. After another outstanding season on the beach, we are looking forward to welcoming both our returning Beachies along with new Nippers to Elouera this year. This year, we’re excited to welcome Peter Thoroughgood to our Beach Coaching Team. Peter is a former Australian Champion and has come up through the Elouera Nipper ranks, so knows exactly what it takes to excel on the sand. Peter will be joined by both Donna Hanna (former World Beach Flags Champion) and Michael Hanna (current World Beach Sprint Champion) as our Elouera Nipper coaches.

We will also be working closely with our senior Beach coaches Davina Strauss and Chris Davis to provide pathways for our older Nippers as they transition to the senior club.

Beach Sprint & Flags Training Days

  • Wednesday: 4.30pm – 5.30pm (either at Sylvania Athletics Track or Elouera SLSC)
  • Friday: 5pm – 6pm (Elouera SLSC)
  • Sunday: 7.45am prior to Nippers (Elouera SLSC)

Training is targeted at those kids interested in racing at carnivals and those looking to improve their skills and fitness for Nippers from the U9-U14’s. From time to time, the Beach Team may train at Greenhills or Sylvania Athletic Track. Check Team App for updates.

If you or your children have friends from their winter sports, school or athletics club, be sure to hand on this information and encourage them to come down to Elouera this season!

A full training schedule is published in the Elouera Nippers Team App. Changes and updates to water training sessions will be communicated through the Elouera Nippers App.
