DIVING INFO
My name is Amy Johnson, and I am the dive coach for both Woodside and Summit. My email is [email protected] and cell is 260-414-6856.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
I have been coaching dive for 6 years.
I am an elementary PE teacher in Fort Wayne Community Schools at Brentwood.
Dive practice is from 4:15 to 5:30. This time will overlap with High School and Club Dive.
Middle school will arrive and take 3 blue mats into the hallway.
We will stretch, take attendance, go over the workout for the day, and return the mats at 4:30 to get in the water for an hour.
Club divers will arrive and stretch while we are in the water.
Club divers will stay and join Club until 6:30.
There are 22 Practice days. Both teams practice at the same time on the same boards.
There will be NO Practice on the following dates:
January 19, 23 & February 1, 2, 10, 14, 17
If there is a Meet, Middle school will not practice and Club kids will go the club practice.
This would a good time to check out an intro to dive through IISD (Indiana International School of Diving).
Conference qualifications are a 4 step hurdle and 6 different dives.
There are only 3 divers entered for each team for conference.
We will have 3 days of tryouts starting Tuesday, January 17, 2023.
I will let the divers know they have made the team on Friday, Jan. 20 after practice.
Please arrive on time to pick up your diver after practice.
I will not leave until all athletes have been picked up and are accounted for.
I am excited for our season and am ready to get started! We are going to have a lot of fun!
Thank you,
Amy Johnson
