Member Opportunities
The achievements of the Maroochydore SLSC can be measured by the extent of the contributions of its members. Every contributing member makes the Club stronger; from supporters who work at surf carnivals and events; to coaches who are generous with their time to train and mentor competitors; to the trainers and assessors who upskill and educate members; and to Nipper families developing young lifesavers for the future.
Maroochydore supports a range of opportunities for members to get involved in as a means of member development, retention and acknowledgement.
