    • Divers will learn drills and skills to work on squeezing legs, core, and keeping a proper and safe body position through out all jumps on dryboard and trampoline 
    • Divers will work on line up drills and must complete line ups in the water (1-meter and 3-meter before moving onto competitive skills in dryland) 
    • Once these skills are mastered, divers will work on drills for 101C and 401C (forward and inward) dives. If these are not mastered in dryland, divers will not be permitted to attempt these skills in the water 
  • Divers will learn all basic jumps on the side of the pool, 1-meter, and 3- meter (Straight, tuck, pike in forward position and straight and tuck in back position)
    • Divers must master proper body control, body position, and a level of fearlessness before moving onto more complex skills 
    • Divers will work on basic line up drills and skills on 1-meter. If mastered, the skills will be moved to 3-meter 
    • Divers can then start to learn basic skills to move forward with a novice list

  • The most important thing to create is a love of the sport and the consistency of coming to practice.  
  • *Please remember this group is a DEVELOPMENTAL group, if some of them excel faster than average, they may learn more basic dives before other divers, but it is better to master the skills and jumps before learning any competitive dives
