Squad entry
A Diver may enter the All Stars squad by way of progression through the Lessons Programme and may be the most suitable option for a Diver wishing to begin participating in Competitive Diving. Divers may also be selected by the Head Coach from various other methods of identification e.g. holiday lessons. Entry into the squad is at the discretion of the Head Coach only. Maintenance of a place within the squad will be reliant on the commitment of the Diver to attend sessions, a willingness to learn new dives and a willingness to compete at events. Further to this, the attitude of the Diver will be key in determining entry and retention within the All Stars squad.

Each Diver must bring the following to each training session – Wet & Dry
• Appropriate clothing i.e. Shorts, T-shirt, Socks, Trainers, Costume or Trunks
• Appropriate Training Aids: Chamois, Theraband or other elasticated strength & Conditioning aid, Gym ball (only if allocated to the Diver).
• Suitable drink: Water or an isotonic drink. Any other drink is unsuitable for training, Please ensure that you have enough to drink throughout the session

Events
Competitive events will be selected by the Head Coach, throughout the training year. These events will be used to monitor Diver progress along with other means of monitoring to establish a full picture of progress. Divers must attend events in order to sustain a place in the All Stars squad unless agreed by prior arrangement with the Head Coach. Please refer to the club calendar for targeted events.
Retention
There will be a three-month trial period for all Divers that are new into the squad. Retention in this squad is purely at the discretion of the Head Coach.
