Please use the color codes to determine which meets you should be zeroing in on. Jim will give all team members and parents plenty of notice as to what away meets you will be entering.. If your coach is unable to attend a meet that you have been cleared to attend, we will set you up with another "qualified & trusted" coach.  We would like most of of you to zero in on and hit your first peak for the the green USD Regional Meet which falls in late March early-April.

FYI: You will be seen and judged by the same college coaches in AAU as USD.  You will also be diving against the same divers in AAU & USD....
