This level of diving is designed for the individual (18
years of age or younger) who has successfully trained and
competed well as a Novice,
and is now ready for the greater
challenges and rewards of Junior Olympic level diving. As
in Novice level, there are turning points and stages of
growth, such as character-builders as sacrifice (more time
spent training, greater physical and emotional demands,
etc.), confronting fear, goal setting, experiencing the
rewards of accomplishment, being a role model among peers
and meeting new people as one travels to compete at
regional, zone and national competitions.
