MINNESOTA DIVING ACADEMY

Summer Season program information and practice schedules are available on our website. This summer we have:

1. Elite and JO Select Teams.
For the dedicated divers looking to improve their 1m, 3m and Platform Diving skills. These are also the divers who are hoping to go on to dive in college. On-deck dryland, special conditioning programs and access to the incredible University of Minnesota Jean Freeman Aquatic Center.

2. College Program.
For current college divers who are home for the summer, and for those who are going to dive in college this fall. Chance to work with other college divers to better prepare yourself for the 2016-17 NCAA/NAIA season.

3. High School Enrichment.
For high school-aged divers who are focused on improving only their 1-meter diving and becoming more competitive during their upcoming high school seasons. Great place to learn the elusive Reverse Dive!!!

4. Learn-to-Dive Lessons.
For divers of all ages who are brand new to diving. Using proven, positive teaching techniques including basic skill progressions that promote body balance, spatial awareness and body alignment, instructors help divers learn successfully and safely.

Hey everyone,
I think most of you know Sydney, one of our divers from Eden Prairie. Please pray for her! Sydney went into cardiac arrest two mornings ago while having her wisdom teeth removed. She is at Amplatz Children's Hospital at the U of MN. She has not awakened as of yet. Please pray for her and her family!
Thanks,
John

Well another Summer Region 5 JO meet is in the books. And for the record, MDA had an awesome showing. 8 divers qualified in 14 events for the Zone meet in July. And to put a final MDA stamp on the meet, Abigail bested her PR by 20 points to take 3rd in 14-15 Girls Platform. (Thanks Dan, Kris and Manny!). Congrats to all MDA divers on a job well done!!!

MDA had an amazing outing at Region 5 JO Championships in Brown Deer, WI. Qualifying for Zones were:
Vova in 14-15 Boys 1m AND 3m.
Olivia and Abigail in 14-15 Girls 1m and 3m.
Taylor, Brandon, Alex and Andy in 16-18 Boys 1m.
Alex and Andy in 16-18 Boys 3m (Taylor and Brandon were injured and did not dive.)
Liz in 16-18 Girls 1m and will most likely also qualify on 3m, as well.
Everyone dived their personal bests, including Meghan, Jackie and Beth. Just Outstanding!!! I'm so proud to be able to coach each of you!
