Henley SLSC Surf Sports Athlete Program

Performance Pathways. Structured Financial and Coaching Support. Team Culture.

Henley Surf Life Saving Club is building a structured, sustainable surf sports program focused on athlete development across Youth and Senior levels. Our approach has been developed in collaboration with high-performance coaching expertise and is supported by a major private sponsorship.

We’ve introduced a Surf Sports Athlete Categorisation Framework to guide how we support our athletes through coaching, equipment, training squads, and competition planning.

Key Features:
• A clear pathway from development to high-performance squads
• Access to club resources and support funding (e.g. equipment, craft storage, coaching) based on commitment and performance
• A culture of mutual support, accountability, and growth
• Fair and transparent policies around competition entry, storage, and expectations

Whether you're aiming for Aussies, looking to build your skills, or want to be part of a positive, goal-driven team, there’s a place for you here.

Come train with us at Henley!
