- 2 min read
Dear Regina Diving Club Families,
As many of you know, our club will be hosting the Western Canadian Diving Championships from May 1–3. This is an exciting opportunity for our athletes and a wonderful chance to showcase our club and community.
This is the first of several emails that will be shared over the coming weeks outlining volunteer opportunities for the competition. It is important to note that it is not possible for our club to host competitions of this size without the support of our diving families—we truly appreciate everyone stepping forward to help make this event a success. Volunteer hours worked at the competition will count towards families volunteer commitments.
Volunteer Opportunity: Tables
At each competition, we have two sets of “table” workers:
Set A: 1 metre
Set B: 3 metre and platform
Each set requires a team of four volunteers:
1 Announcer: Announces scores as judges display their awards for each dive
2 Computer Operators: Enter scores into the system as they are announced
1 Recorder: Records scores manually on paper
For Westerns, we are specifically looking for bilingual (French/English) announcers. While announcing in French is not required for this event, it will be required for Nationals (which we are hosting in July). We are hoping to give bilingual announcers the opportunity to gain experience at Westerns in preparation.
No prior experience is necessary for any table roles. We will be hosting a training session on the Thursday evening prior to the competition.
The diving parents organizing the competition and the various volunteer shifts would sincerely appreciate if people can sign up asap opposed to waiting until the week prior to the competition.
Sign-Up Details
When signing up for a shift, please include:
Your diver’s name
Their level/category (e.g., National D Female, Novice B Male)
We will do our best to ensure you are not scheduled during your child’s events; however, this cannot be guaranteed.
Please ensure you read all of the information in the sign up link. The link can be found here:
Extra Information About Competitions
For those who may be newer to the club and/or sport, this competition is the Western Canadian Championships (“Westerns”).
This event provides an opportunity for athletes in levels F through A (approximately ages 5–18) to compete on:
1 metre
3 metre
Tower
To compete on a board, divers must have a “dive list,” which is the required set of dives for that level and board. Coaches will be connecting with each diver and family in the coming weeks to confirm readiness and eligibility.
We will be running both national and novice events at Westerns.
For athletes who are not yet competing, we strongly encourage you to come out and watch—this is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the sport and see what future participation can look like.
There are multiple ways for families to get involved, including:
Tables (this email)
Hospitality Room
Raffle/Merchandise Table
If you have questions about the competition itself, please reach out to your coach.If you have questions about volunteering or donations, please contact Bonnie.
Thank you in advance for your support—these events truly take a team, and we are so grateful to have such a strong and committed diving community.
Warm regards,Bonnie & Carla (Meet Managers)
