New River Diving Lessons

August 30, 2023

Do you have a daredevil in your family?  Do your kids enjoy extreme sports like skateboarding or aerial sports like gymnastics? Maybe you should consider signing them up for diving lessons!

New River Diving is a local diving program that offers lessons to kids of all ages. Fear and failure are the building blocks of our sport, so athletes will learn their own process to overcome adversity and gain confidence through their acquisition of new skills. Our goal is to allow athletes to push the boundaries of their comfort zone in a safe environment. Athletes will learn the fundamentals of the sport through various challenges and games to create a fun experience.

We are extremely fortunate to train out of the Christiansburg Aquatic Center, which is one of two facilities in the state of Virginia with a full stack of diving platforms (5 meter, 7.5 meter, and 10 meter) and is also equipped with two 1 meter springboards, two 3 meter spring boards, and a trampoline with a spotting rig. Not only do we have an exceptional facility to train out of, but our coaching staff have national coaching experience as well as international athletic experience.

This season we will offer mid-day lessons to homeschool students on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as our typical afternoon lessons Monday through Friday. We also offer dryland training lessons at Virginia Techniques on Sundays.
