[quote=Anonymous]Dive parent in another region. The above PP has good advice- you just need to hunt down one active diver or coach and you’ll find your way in. Teams near us still use Facebook for their teams like it’s 2010.

Dive teams are small and mostly interconnected and in my experience they are all wildly disorganized. I’ve made peace with it because I’d rather my kid be coached by someone who focuses on technique vs. email and communication. Follow up again with the Dive 1 coach and if by “summer”, you mean a separate summer team, talk to your summer coach. Most of our summer league coaches are connected to the local clubs.

Also in most cases there isn’t a lot of progression between intro classes and team workouts; it’s worth giving Dive 1 another try in case it attracts a different group. Mixed ability and age groups are the norm through all levels of diving.

Sometimes my DD ends up in a practice group with really tiny beginners and it does slow things down for a bit but if you want to stay in diving this happens and you have to be patient. When my DD is in one of those groups, she had to be proactive and tell the coach what she wants to work on or else the default becomes tidying her dives while the beginners brave the basics.[/quote]
