2017 High School Recap
This month marks the end of our High School Season! It's been a long season and we are so proud of all of our athletes who competed this year. We’ve had an amazing High School
season this year! Congratulations to all the divers who competed in the dual and championship meets and a big congratulations to Nathan Howze from Bartram Trail who brought home the Gold in the Men’s
Class 3A State Championships! It came down to the last dive in a very tight race for 1st but Nathan dug deep and pulled out an awesome 5333D (Reverse 1 ½ with 1 ½ twists) to edge out his
opponent.
We are very proud of our outstanding State Qualifiers: Savannah Brown, Isabella DiStefano, Christian Banker, Kate Zehil, and Parker Hampton. We would also like to send a shout out to our divers who qualified for the Regional Championships and barely missed out on their shot at qualifying for the State Meet – Brock Howze from Bartram Trail, Leonna Pollicino from Creekside, & Corinne Hentschel from Atlantic Coast HS. Awesome job this year divers and we look forward to another strong season next year!

Hand Spotting Clinic with USA Diving
On Saturday, September 20th our divers participated in a Hand Spotting Clinic hosted by USA Diving for the coaches in town for the USAS Convention at the Hyatt Downtown. Our divers Isabella, Mary Grace, Milla, Anneliese, Kate, and Amy from W. Fl. Lightning in Tampa helped coaches learn the proper techniques for hand spotting in a dryland setting. This training was extremely helpful for not only the coaches but also our divers. We look forward to implementing all of the new techniques when we open our dry gym very soon!
Thank you to our Diver's for volunteering!

New Team Formatting Starting February 2013
With the team growing by leaps and bounds over the last year many of our practices have become overwhelmingly full. In order to accomodate every diver,
at every skill level, we have updated our team organization and practice schedule.
During the month of January, Coach Courtney will be assessing each divers skill level with our new and improved skill sheets. Skill sheets will be kept for all divers to track
their progress as well as indicate when a diver has successfully progressed to the next competitive level.
Below you will find our new team format with a brief description of each level, skill level or age group requirements, practice requirements, and eligible meets.
