About Dive at Chesterbrook
Dive Season Information
Dive season begins with afternoon preseason practices from Memorial Day until the end of the Fairfax County Public Schools year. During the summer, dive practice is in the mornings with dive meets in the afternoon on either Tuesday (A-Meets) or Thursday (B-Meets).
The regular season consists of five competitive Tuesday night meets (A-Meets) and four Thursday night developmental meets (B-Meets). To qualify for a competitive (A) meet, a diver must be able to do the required number of legal dives for their age group, the Diving Rules document from NVSL provides detailed information. For example, divers 10 years old and younger must do three dives (a forward dive, a back dive and a feet-first flip). All other divers are eligible and encouraged to compete in developmental (B) meets and we have several planned against local clubs. Dive meets start at 6:00 PM, with a warm-up session starting at 4:00 PM for home meets and 5:00 PM for away meets.
In addition to these meets, divers may participate in the Crackerjack meet for beginner divers, the Wally Martin Synchronized Diving meet, and may qualify to compete in the NVSL Divisional Championships and the NVSL All Stars Championship.
