Entering our 11th season, the Dive Team is open to all NCC members age 18 & under on June 1. After an undefeated ’07 season, the team has moved up into Division III.
The season is composed of four dual meets held on Sunday afternoons followed by Divisional & All Stars Meets (for qualifying divers).
We welcome all ages and levels of divers (your child must be able to swim safely from the board to the ladder and be mature enough to take direction from our coaches).
Divers who compete in at least two meets are eligible for a trophy and the right to qualify for Divisionals.
