Role of a Team Manager
The management of a Surf Sports team is an important function that
can make the difference between the competitors enjoying a good
competition experience, doing their best in an event or even making
the start line. It is essential that a positive experience in a team is
achieved and that it serves to keep them involved in surf lifesaving.
The role requires strong organisational skills, the ability to think on
your feet and manage multiple tasks, strong communication skills, and
a sound knowledge of competition rules together with a positive
attitude and a commitment to succeed. The positive interaction
between the team coach, or trainer, support crew including parents is
of great importance to the team well being.

sport is safe and fair for their entire team by having;

any one time and must be wearing the allocated

Child (Under 18) Protection.
Team Managers who work with or have contact with
athletes /supporters under the age of eighteen years old
have some extra responsibilities and requirements to
ensure that the team member they work with are kept
safe and protected from harm.
Team Managers should have an understanding of child
protection, what to do if child abuse is suspected,
appropriate behaviour for officials, and how to create an
environment where children feel safe and protected.
21
Youth Considerations
Youth and risk
There are three risk areas that youth encounter:
• Taking risks. Some risks can contribute in a positive
way, others relating to lifestyle and leisure time choices
could possibly result in physical or mental harm.
• Young people might be at risk due to individual, family
or socio-economic factors.
• Youth can also be at risk of failing academically or
struggle with moving into employment.
22
Youth Considerations
Youth participation
• As a team manager, you are able to work with youth to give them
opportunities to identify problems and explore options, to allow
them to be part of the decision-making process.
• This could include letting them decide about where to eat, team
uniforms and other decisions that the team needs to make.
• The decision-making process needs to be managed to ensure the
team is provided with criteria and restrictions to allow them to
make effective decisions.
• Youth team members can also be allocated tasks that contribute to
the running of the team.
23
Youth Considerations
Youth culture
• Can you remember what it was like to be a teenager/young adult?
• Was there any conflict between you and your parents or older
people?
• How would the you/your friends in your day respond if you told
them about it, and do you find yourself wanting to respond in the
same way?
• How did you feel if older people were dismissive of your
preferences?
• Your approach to youth should accept their culture is different to
the culture you experienced as a youth, while the responses to the
questions above might be the same or similar.

SLSSA is again taking the truck and towing a ski trailer to the Aussies. There
will be limited space available on the truck for reels and tents and if there is
the demand and space permits, we may be able to put the board rack on.
Costs will be calculated per item based on costs of the trip. We have asked,
via Circular C15016 that you indicate the below:
• 1. If you have a ski trailer that the SLSSA truck can tow? If so how many
skis can it carry?
• 2. Do you require any other equipment to be taken on the truck e.g.
a. Reels
b. Tents
c. Boards
d. Other (please specify e.g. rescue tubes, manikins)
• PLEASE NOTE: A request does not guarantee a spot and this will be done
on a needs and first in basis.
