Cardinal Hill Dive Team

The Cardinal Hill Dive Team is a member of the Northern Virginia Swimming League – Diving (NVSL-D) which was founded in 1956 to sponsor competitive diving among community pools. The NVSL is the largest summer league in the United States with over 10,000 children participating. The NVSL-D comprises 47 teams divided into 8 Divisions. 

All Cardinal Hill Dive Team Programs are under the general supervision of the CHSRC Board Member for Dive Team Activities (Allen Brabender). The Head Coach receives guidance and direction from and is responsible to the CHSRC Board Member for Dive Team Activities. The CHSRC Board member meets with the head coach to review program progress. 

The NVSL Team Representatives (Kate Beck & Megan Pierce) assist the CHSRC Board Member for Dive Team Activities in the day to day supervision of the summer dive program. The team representative is the official spokesperson for our team in matters regarding the NVSL, meet arrangements and conduct. The team representative(s) will be present during all competitive events.

The Team Meet Manager (Laura Gurganus) is present at all NVSL Dive A Meets and works with the Team Representative to keep the dive meet running smoothly. The meet manager is responsible for submitting all NVSL Dive paperwork after each A meet.

Head Coach, Brenda Massey, is responsible for the overall diving program. The program is designed to be both safe and fun for all participants. Winning meets and/or the division is a nice side effect!
