[quote=Anonymous]Your club coach is the place to start. Other things to do right now:

Start looking at rosters of teams that your DC would be interested in to understand how many divers they actually take. It’s going to be a tiny number: 1-4 total, not by grad year. Look at your kid’s AAU and USA Diving placements and see who is a year ahead of them by grad year and who placed near them when they were in the same age group. Compare dive lists on divemeets.com. Think about if your diver wants to focus on just springboard or if they have a platform list. That will change where they can train and what teams are a good fit. If they’re a top diver, lack of a tower isn’t necessarily going to keep them from competing it in NCAAs- I can think of a diver at an Ivy with just springboard facilities who came from Mission Viejo and competes platform at NCAAs. But you know if you have a diver at that level. Go to camps this summer.

It’s really important to know that your diver could train all 4 years and never compete at a meet if they’re on a top team. One of our kids’ teammates is at a former PAC-12 swim and dive powerhouse but she has yet to be rostered for a meet.[/quote]
