Talent Search

Do you have what it takes to be a diver? Children are selected to join our squads by the coaching team, if they have the physical and mental attributes to be a competitive diver. We are always looking for talented children in beginner lessons, holiday courses and taster sessions who could be competitive divers. The traits we are looking for include:

• Flexibility: good pike shape, splits, flexible shoulders and ankles
• Springy jumps
• Strength: strong core, arms and legs
• Good toe point
• Competent headstand and handstands
• Coordination & control
• Bravery & willingness to try new skills from high boards
• Attention to detail and form
• Ability to make changes to dives from coaches' comments

Children with a background in competitive gymnastics, tumbling, trampolining and dance often have some of the traits to make successful competitive divers. If you think your child has some or all of these attributes then contact Nigel or Dan to arrange a trial, quoting "talent trial".
