Expectations

Diving Team

The diving team splits ability levels between two teams, Varsity, JV aka Frosh/Soph. The goal of its members is to push themselves to their maximum diving potential while supporting each other and enjoying the camaraderie of the team setting here within the LGHS aquatics program. ALL Seniors and Junior Boys MUST participate at the Varsity level; Freshman, Sophomores, and Junior Girls will be placed on the team best fit to their abilities. An athlete can move up teams at any time; athletes may only move down to a lower team for the League Finals.

Our Team Expectations; Karla and I volunteer a lot of time to this program and we expect the same from our divers. We expect a commitment to this team; one that supersedes your personal and social plans. Work, study time, vacations/trips, and other activities should be schedule for non-practice/competition times and dates. Normal practices start after school with athletes ready for a dry-land workout, complete with athletic shoes. Following our dryland work, in-pool line-ups and approaches will be practiced before we move on to actual dives. Safety is our number one concern so instructions from Karla and myself MUST be followed. Diving is also a challenging sport because you must overcome a fear in order to learn a new dive. You must trust that Karla and myself will only push an athlete to do something that we are confident they can successfully complete. All athletes represent the coaches, school, and larger Los Gatos community; do not let us down.
