ABOUT VALLEY DIVE

Passion to Inspire

Mission Statement

​

Valley Dive has a mission of empowering the athlete to confidence, to ownership, to social respect and to community. Coach, Parent, Peer interaction is specifically organized to drive Positive Reinforcement Teaching as a primary support mechanism.

​

Valley Dive provides a variety of introductory lessons for child fitness, as well as a stepping stone program to high school sports, regional competitions, national club participation and a university education, resulting in better discipline, time-management, athleticism, and a team environment (as athlete goals dictate). Valley Dive programs stress positive development in body, mind and purpose, and provide excellent advancement for the athlete, as a whole person.

​

The Valley Dive Mission is to serve the extended San Fernando and Simi Valley (all the way to Ventura) youth communities with gym, fitness and diving, age-appropriate options, with specific outreach to minority and disadvantaged youth, thus providing an athletic anchor that further encourages education and growth, both in and outside the sport of diving.
