About NVSL Dive

NVSL Dive programs focus on skills related to springboard diving on 1-meter boards. Teams compete in divisions with five other teams, and participate in five Tuesday night meets each summer. Teams send their best divers to a Divisional meet at the end of the season. Divers from each division are selected to compete in the NVSL All-Star Meet. 

Additional competitions are available for new divers (Cracker-Jack Meet) as well as divers who want to try 1-meter synchronized or 3-meter diving (Wally Martin Meet).
