Parents
We can't do it without you!
Meets and social events are an ALL VOLUNTEER effort.
Please consider lending us your skills in the following ways:
AT THE MEETS:
Judge
Certification-required position: this means you attend a judges training clinic within three years of time judging. Judge dives and provide scores for meet results. Work for the first or second half of the meet. Please attend a Judging Clinic this season!
Beginning in 2025, MCDL will be using this video as the basis for its training. See the How to Become an MCDL Official guide. You will be required to complete this short video course before attending a live training for initial certification. The video is a great introduction to the elements of diving and judging. Watching it ahead of time will allow the in-person training courses to focus on demo divers and question & answers.
