The mission of Springfield Area Diving is to provide a high
quality, progressive, year-round diving program for divers ranging from entry
level to those competing at the national level. The training will provide
technical and safety instruction to athletes who are (or wish to be) competitive
in the sport of springboard diving. |
| The program includes divers from all ability levels - from beginners to
accomplished veterans. Many of these divers compete in regional diving meets and
some are not yet ready for competition. The goal, however, is to advance to a
competitive situation. It is important that prospective participants are aware
of this goal and realize that commitment and dedication are expected. While
keeping short and log term goals in mind, we strive to create an atmosphere that
is enjoyable for everyone involved. Diving (much like other individual sports)
can be frustrating at times - our aim is to keep it safe, challenging,
rewarding, and most of all, fun. |

|
As coaches, our primary goal is to provide safe and effective diving
instruction utilizing training techniques which will activate and develop the
maximum potential in each diver. As a diving parent, your primary goal is to
support your child by taking an interest in their diving and to provide
encouragement as they strive to reach their individual best.
 | Other Program Goals:
 | To field a full competitive team at U. S. Diving meets.
 | To assist college bound divers in their pursuit of a successful
collegiate diving career.
 | To promote the sport of diving in the community
 | To promote and improve area high school diving. |
