It all started in 1997 when Red Frogs Australia founder Andy Gourley (then youth pastor at Citipointe Church) hit Schoolies Week on the Gold Coast with his skateboarding mates and realised the need for a designated sober person at the massive drinking parties.

In 2009 Red Frogs was brought to South Africa at Matric Holiday in Ballito. Since then, Red Frogs has been present and active all around South Africa.
