It is important to discuss with your child/athlete if they want to "give-it-a-go" away from the coach an in an environment that the decision is made without any pressure.

3. EMAIL

If your child/athlete wants to "give-it-a-go" - please email your child/athletes intention to start. We will then let you know if we have a spot, or if it needs to be scheduled based on a wait list.

INSTRUCTION/PRACTICE

Most of our divers start out with two practice per week, and progress to multiple practices, depending upon their level of commitment, drive, ability, and coach approval. ADT coaches are highly trained professionals who use hand spotting and a TiVo video recording systems to help divers perfect the fundamentals and nuances of a dive. Most importantly, our coaches are focused on the safety and development of your diver.

This is diving...

Diving is a year round sport. Diving is not a consolation sport for those who decide not to swim. Diving is the ultimate form of grace, beauty, and athleticism. A diver must be able to perform a physically and mentally challenging act, in unison, in just 2 seconds and make it look effortless, in control, and beautiful. Diving is an individual team sport that fosters confidence, courage and a commitment to excellence. A diver will truly excel when working and competing with others on their team.

Conquering fear is something divers do every time they are on the board. When a diver smacks and has that feeling of “broken glass” pressing against their body; it means they are truly divers - pushing their mind and body to excel beyond the milk run of mediocrity. Some cry upon smacking, some just suck-it-up and some still think the redness will eventually turn to a tan ;). If you dive long enough you will become a very good diver – just how good will be up to your positive commitment, mental strength, and coaching.
