Team participation requires a yearlong commitment with training goals established at the beginning of each season. Movement up through the levels is determined by the coaching staff, but generally follows USA Diving’s championship format – Our National squad members qualify for AAU Nationals and USA Diving National preliminaries, and Our Elite Squad are Junior National Semi-finalists and finalists.

All Team members receive dry-land training in our belt systems over the dry-board or trampoline, water training on 1-meter and 3-meter springboards and platforms, and a structured conditioning program with our strength and conditioning coach.

National Squad
