Thank you for supporting the team and creating a smooth transition from WJC to our two new diving homes. Again, thanks to all of you who helped remove the dive equipment from WJC. My hope is that as we settle in to our new locations, and they become more comfortable with us, that we will be allowed to bring our trampoline and mats to the pools.
Our season is officially ending Wednesday, July 27. There is NO practice Saturday, the 30th. We will resume our usual schedule next October, Monday the 3rd. However, there is a chance that our Gladstone day of practice may be changed. I will notify you of the day of the week as soon as anything is finalized. There has been interest from several of you to continue practicing in August and September. We will offer practice one day a week at Park Hill on Saturdays from 12-2PM starting August 6. Mary will be the primary coach. I will need payment from at least 3 divers in order to support the practice. The fee is $120 for both months. Please send a check to me before the first practice.
Our MOKAN league was a great success. Many of our divers did very well and were able to improve their skills. I was very impressed with all of you! Thanks to all the parents who helped us run the meets at Clayview. We couldn’t do it without you.
Olivia competed in the Missouri Valley Championship meet at Homestead July 16 and was GREAT! She got an 8 on her back jump and came home with two first place ribbons. I was very PROUD of her!
We will need to renew our AAU memberships after the end of August. It is only $14 and I will give you our new team number when it’s time to renew.
Good luck to our HS men divers: Danny, Austin, Bryce, and Brandon. We hope you have a very successful year, and hope that all your hard work in the “off” season proves beneficial. Brandon, we predict that we will see you on the podium at State, and we hope others may join him, or at least get to finals. I hope you will continue to take advantage of our coaching!
Good luck to Zach as he heads off to Missouri State University to join their diving program. He is joining the ranks of our other past men divers such as Tanner Bosch (Navy), Jake Staves (Lindenwood), and Kelly Marx (Auburn). We know you will work hard and be successful!

Divingly yours,
