Diving Canada launches virtual competition for junior divers
Diving Canada is launching a virtual skills competition for its high-performance athlete development (HPAD) divers aged under 13. Starting today and until July 17th, a total of eighteen HPAD athletes from across the country will be given a set of skills to complete by video on a weekly basis, before submitting them to Diving Canada’s Junior High-Performance Director, Andrée Pouliot-Deschamps.
They will be evaluated and ranked on the quality of execution, with specific attention to their form, precision of movements, sequence of movement of the technical exercises and efficiency.
The ranking of the top-8 divers will be posted here and on Facebook every Friday at 5PM EST and awards will be given to the top-three ranked divers on July 17th. Coaches, divers, clubs and parents wishing to follow along are invited to join DPC’s online community, where more details about the weekly exercises will be shared and demonstrated by video.
