Fuel to Go & Play Surf Squad is a surf sports coaching program run by Surf Life Saving WA for its youth members aged U13 – U15.

Who is Fuel to Go & Play Surf Squad for?

The Fuel to Go & Play Surf Squad Series provides specialised surf and beach coaching opportunities in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment. Open to all SLSWA members in the U13–U15 age groups, the series consists of five three-hour coaching sessions held at different beach locations throughout the season, giving athletes the opportunity to develop their surf sports skills, gain race experience, and learn from experienced coaches and elite WA athletes in a variety of surf conditions and environments.

In conjunction with our Surf Squad sessions, we are offering a coaching development opportunity for all members 14 and over who are interested in beginning their coaching journey.

This program is designed for those wanting to learn the fundamentals of coaching from our experienced Western Sun coaches.
