Hello MCT Dive Team Family!!

For all returning members……WELCOME BACK!!!!

For all new members, my name is Allison Cole and I am the head coach of the MCT dive team. I have been a part of the MCT dive family for 16 years. After being a diver for this team I was hired as a coach. I have been coaching for MCT for 5 years (this year being my 6^th). I love this team. This pool is my home and a big part of my life. The MCT dive team is such a wonderful opportunity for so many children and teens. I could not be more proud to be the coach of this team and help so many young kids accomplish their goals while having so much fun in the sun!

I am so excited to start the 2009 dive season. Last year was a very successful year. We are currently ranked #1 in Division 1. This is a great accomplishment and I would like to congratulate everyone from last season for that great achievement!

            I am looking forward to this season. We have a great team of coaches this year! I am very happy to say that ALL of our coaches will be returning, plus one addition.  

            First, I would like to introduce Lindsey Kaufman. Lindsey is our Assistant coach. She has been with us for 2 years now and we are so please that she will be join us again for a 3^rd year! Lindsey currently attends the University of Maryland and is finishing up her freshman year.   Lindsey is the best assistant coach I have ever coached with. She is wonderful with the kids and they love her. I am so excited to have her back this year (I’m sure everyone else is as well).

           Next, I would like to introduce our new coach. He was our CIT (coach in training) last year and this year he has been promoted to Jr. Assistant coach. His name is Andy Goldschmidts. He has been a part of our team for many years and has really earned this new position.   Andy is not only a coach, but a 15-18 diver for our team as well. He is currently a student at Magruder High School and a member of their dive team. Andy is wonderful with our beginner divers and really enjoys seeing them advance and grow.

            Lindsey, Andy and I would like to welcome everyone to our family. Whether you have never been off a dive board before, or you are a top level diver, everyone has a place on our team. We love seeing everyone accomplish their goals and grow into stronger individuals. The dive team is a very social family and we encourage the making of new friends and having fun while working toward a common and individual goal.

          So, come one come all to the MCT dive team and get ready to have an AWESOME year!!

!!!!!GO MCT MARLINS!!!!!
