Our 13 & Under group is for divers who have mastered the basic fundamental skills and dives in each direction from the Future Champions program, they will progress to the appropriate program based upon their age. The focus for the 13 & Under program will be to continue progression from basic dives and skills toward more complex dives on both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards. Practices for this group will be one hour and 45 minutes in length. They will also prepare for local and regional competitions, with the option to participate. There are two age groups in this category 11&U and 12-13. For additional information on the diving rules and what a competitive list would consist of, please refer to the USA Diving Junior rules . The goals for the 13 & Under program will be to have fun while continuing a commitment to becoming a successful diver. If you are unsure whether or not the 13 & Under program is the right fit for your diver, please contact Coach Jason at 612-499-2263.
