Australian For Life

Coaches and officials

Surf Life Saving coaches and officials are vital to the organisation, events and athletes. Generally coaching and officiating is a volunteer activity dedicated to training our Surf athletes and providing quality Surf competitions and carnivals.

Any registered SLSA member can become a coach or official. The career path of an SLSA coach or official can be traced from nippers through to our Australian teams.
