ABOUT CMD

       At our core, we believe strong leaders and strong athletes are built from the inside out. Our mission is to empower individuals through team building, confidence development, core strength training, and a resilient mindset. We help every athlete set meaningful, achievable goals that support long-term success—both in sport and in life.

      Central Massachusetts Diving (CMD) brings this mission to life through a fully sanctioned AAU springboard diving program designed for athletes of all ages and levels, from beginners to national competitors. Our experienced coaches prioritize safety and growth, offering high-quality, progressive, year-round training that builds courage, body awareness, discipline, and trust.

Recreational and competitive divers train in a fun, supportive environment using tools such as video replay, a trampoline with an overhead harness, and a bubbler system that reduces impact during learning. These systems allow athletes to develop confidence, refine technique, and progress safely and effectively.

      CMD operates as a 10-month AAU program (September–June), with each diver registered through AAU and exposed to a wide range of training methods. Our goal is to see every athlete develop the skills and confidence to compete in sanctioned events, excel on high school teams, and even succeed at the NCAA level. During the Summer Month we offer Summer Workouts she menu above for details on that.

       Diving is an exciting, demanding sport that unites strength, speed, courage, and attitude. While many beginners come from gymnastics or dance, diving challenges both body and mind, pushing athletes toward excellence while fostering genuine joy for the sport.

      Practices are scheduled bi-monthly and shared through Google Sheets, allowing divers to choose sessions based on their tuition plan. All practices are held at the Hart Center at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA—centrally located within 40 miles of Providence, Springfield, Boston, and Plainfield. Each session includes conditioning, dry-land training on the trampoline, and in-water diving technique.

     Whether you’re an athlete, diver, coach, or someone striving to become the best version of yourself, we’re here to guide, challenge, and support you. Join us in building stronger leaders and stronger athletes. Together, we rise.
