Squad selection New members are invited to join our squads by the coaches if they have the physical and mental attributes to be a competitive diver. We are always on the look out for promising children in beginner's lessons and holiday courses who could become competitive divers. The things we look for are:
- Flexibility: good pike shape, splits, flexible shoulders and achillies.
- Springy jumps
- Strength: strong core, arms and legs
- Good toe point
- Competent Handstands
- Coordination & Control
- Bravery & willingness to try new skills from high boards
- Attention to detail and form
- Ability to make changes to dives from coaches comments
Children with a background in competitive gymnastics, tumbling, trampolining and dance often have some of the traits to make successful competitive divers.
