About Us
Who are the Newcastle Outriggers?
NOCC is a group of people who participate in the sport of outrigging to improve/maintain their fitness, health and wellbeing; others like to compete and represent their Club/State/Nation and then there are those who just enjoy the social aspect of doing something physical with a great group of people. So what do they have in common – not a lot except the fact that they enjoy the sport of outrigging.
Our members range from those “way over the hill” to “spring chickens”; from those at school to retirees and all categories in between – outrigging is a sport for EVERYONE.
Competitively, NOCC has achieved success at local, State & National regattas, so we can rise to the occasion when it’s required.
It’s not all “hard work” though – there’s still plenty of time to party!
Why Outrigger Paddling?
Outrigger paddling is a great form of exercise to support/maintain/improve your health, general wellbeing and fitness. If you would like to give outrigging a go please call our Club Coach Steve Dawes on 0408594340 or send him an email at nocccoach@gmail.com. The first 6 weeks of sessions are free, so what have you got to lose? Come on.
Regattas
NOCC teams have competed in a number of regattas both Nationally and overseas – eg, Sydney, Mollymook, Takapuna, Cook Islands, Hamilton Island Cup, Molokai and National Championships.
There’s a category for all ages:
- Open – 20 years of age & above
- Masters – 40 years of age & above
- Senior Masters – 50 years of age & above
- Golden Masters – 60 years of age & above

So if you enjoy competing in a sport, or enjoy seeing different places while exercising then come and join us. Who knows where you may end up!
Not A Local?
Not from around here and you want to have a paddle? Not a problem. As a NOCC guest paddler you are entitled to get your first 6 weeks of sessions free. After that it’s $5/session or you can opt to join NOCC. See you on the water.
Corporate/Team Building
The team that works together gets a better result than the one with individuals doing their own thing. Such is the case with outrigging, and this makes it the ideal sport to instil that Team spirit in your workplace.
NOCC can treat your staff to a Team building outing that is fun and rewarding for both employer and employee, using paddling as a practical example of what a team can achieve.
