Coaches Proposals/Chair's Survey

This past August, into September and October, a  group of 14 coaches with a collective experience of 233 years (16+/average) joined together to explore - what in their opinion is necessary - changes to keep the sport competitive, viable and inviting for the participants, parents and volunteers in a landscape that has evolved into a significantly different one than existed in the recent past. 

To that goal a series of Coaches Proposals were generated by this group and are included below. These Proposals are neither endorsed nor rejected by the Conference Board. In fact, there is not agreement by 100% of the representative coaches. 

These Proposals are being presented here to gather the thoughts of the Conference Chairpeople. Please review each Proposal and provide a written comment to all, a few or none as you see fit. 

Roll the mouse over the Comment Box to see the coaches rationale for that Proposal.
    Proposal #1:
    Align the WCSC into 6 Divisions with Division 1-2-3 having 5 teams and Division 4-5-6 having 6 teams based off of 2014 finish in dual meets and championships . Click here for the potential new Division breakdown.
    Proposal #2:

    Proposal #4:
    Permit and encourage sanctioned and officiated “diving divisional invitational” that will count towards WCSC Championship participation criteria.
