Once divers have mastered the basic fundamental skills and have a competitive diving list for their age for both the 1M and 3M Event, they may be looking to become a member of our competition group. The focus for the competition group practices will be preparation for local, regional and national level competitions . Divers in this group will be expected to participate in multiple competitions throughout the year. For information on the diving rules and what a competitive list would consist of, please refer to the USA Diving Junior rules in Subpart C. The goals for the competition practice group will be to have fun while continuing a commitment to becoming a successful diver and improving their competency while competing.
This group does not have a maximum age. If you are a college diver interested in training for the summer, this group is open to you. If you are unsure whether or not the Team practice group is the right fit for you or your diver, please contact Coach Jason at 612-499-2263.
