Thinking about joining AFD?
Come fly with us!
All new to AFD divers are invited to try 2 practices before signing up.
We'd like all divers to try diving before committing to sign up to make sure it will be an enjoyable experience for them. If new divers enjoy their first two practices enough to sign up for the team, we'd love to have you. If diving isn't for them, that's okay too! You can connect with our coaching staff using the link below to schedule your 2 free 'try out' practices. These practices are for the diver to try out for the team but more for them to try out the sport of diving and see what their practices will be like.
What you need to know
As a coaching staff...
We will always care about all of our athletes as people first, divers second. Diving will always be something our athletes do, it will not be who they are. We will work with our athletes to help them set their own goals and offer insight and guidance to make those goals appropriate, based on skill and commitment level. We are focused on how far your athlete can go in diving, not how fast they can get there.
Joining the Team
All divers need to complete the 2027 Season Membership before registering for a practice group. You are not able to register for a practice group until you have completed your 2027 Season Membership. The Season Membership is just covering your annual team fees - training tuition is a separate cost each session.
Evaluation Weeks
All divers are required to go through evaluation practice and have a conversation with the AFD coaching staff before registering for any training groups. This is to help ensure that the diver and family have alignment with the AFD coaching staff regarding commitment, goals, expectation, meet participation, etc.
All divers need to have active AAU & USA DIVING MEMBERSHIPS before participating in any AFD practices or Evaluation Weeks. These memberships are not required for your two free "tryout" practices.
Practice Groups
Once diver, family, and AFD coaches discussed and agreed on which Practice Groups the diver should signup for, and the diver has active AAU & USA Diving Memberships, you can register for your training group by visiting the group on the PROGRAMS tab above.
