GVSU Water Ski Club

GVSU Water Ski Club We are the official Grand Valley State University Water Ski and Wakeboard Team! Skiers of all talent are encouraged to join! Questions? Want to know more?

The Grand Valley State University Water Ski Team was born in 2006 and has since become a powerhouse in the state of Michigan and even the Midwest as a three-event competitive water ski team. Competitive water skiing consists of three events: slalom, trick skiing (or wakeboarding), and jumping for distance. We practice daily at Placid Waters, a private group of lakes just 4 miles off of campus, and

we compete at tournaments the first four weekends in the fall. The Water Ski Team provides a great place for Grand Valley students to participate in a unique sport as well as develop lifelong friendships. We would love to see you out at the lake! Our team has all of our own equipment if you don't have your own, including rides to and from the lakes. Whether you are an experienced skier or want to learn for the first time, we have a spot for you! We guarantee that the Water Ski Team offers a great and unique experience!

Who doesn’t like the idea of towing your boat to somewhere new and beautiful? Most can agree to this, but the question is, where do you pull your boat? Michigan has plenty of lakes to visit (46,199 to be exact) which all range in size, scenery, and attractions to see. Michigan also has the unique pr...

As you may know, we have qualified for Division 2 Nationals this year! This means that we are one of the top 16 teams in the Nation!! We will be flying out to California to ski in the National tournament and represent our school! Since it's going to be such an expensive trip, we are turning to our friends and our community to help out our team. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. If you would like to donate (and seriously, even a small amount will help) you can do so through the fundraiser link below. Thank for your support and wish us luck in California!
