WELCOME TO THE DIVE TEAM!
Below, please find information about Pennypacker Dive Team, for both returning and new members. Please see the Events & Meet Tab on the Home Page for fun events and the current meet schedule(this will be updated for the current season by May). Please direct all questions to [email protected].
General Inforamtion for New and Returning Divers:
Dive Evaluations: This is for all new divers, as well as divers from the previous season who did not qualify for the championship meet.
- Tryouts are not based on a set list of skills each person can/cannot do.
- We will take into consideration what they can do but also the age group they’re in and the expectations for dives in that age group.
- Individuals will need to be able to walk to the edge of the board to do a hurdle jump, and also be able to do a standing back press.
- Divers who can do flips/dives will be encouraged to do them at tryouts.
- The dates and times will be announced in a communication from the coaches for dates the week after Memorial Day.
- At the conclusion of the tryouts, coaches will speak to the individuals who have made the team.
- Those divers will also be given a Dive Sheet which will dictate what the divers will need to do in their age group in order to qualify for a meet.
Practice Information:
Morning practices will begin after the last day of school for the Downingtown Area School District. Please refer to the Events & Meet Tab on the Home Page of TU for specific dates.
Divers who want to compete must attend at least 2 practices per week. As a team, we can only have 3 divers in each age group compete in meets. Divers will be put on a rotation so that everyone has a chance to compete at meets. Divers can also attend meets as exhibition entries.
- Practices are Monday - Friday.
- Practices are split by age group and will be determined based on team numbers.
